Why is it every morning when I wake up my right ankle hurts?

Question

Even on days I don't excercise. When I get up for work my ankle really hurts, than after about an hour it feels ok.

Answer 1

Have you ever sprained your ankle before in the past, even once or twice? If so, your ankle might have not healed properly. If you've done it more than twice you may always have that pain there without some type of physical therapy. Depending on what type of pain you feel (ex: soreness, shooting pain, throbbing) it can be serious or nothing to worry about. I myself, have pain in my left ankle because it was severely sprained about 3 times. Now, whenever I walk for a long period of time or sometimes just when I wake up it hurts & then goes away after awhile. If you feel like it's something that you are really concerned about don't hesitate to get some xrays and talk to a doctor. My father went years without checking a pain in his ankle and he found he had lots of hairline fractors that never healed properly. Now there isn't much he can do. So I say, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Ankle Pain In The Morning

Answer 3

I know how you feel......... Been there.......... The best thing I found was after I went to a rheumatologist ( a whopping $300 office call) and got a prescription for a drug called Voltaren (an anti-inflammatory my regular doctor could have prescribed). I take it twice a day and the pain (especially in the mornings) is nearly gone. I had it so bad I could hardly get to the bathroom and the ankles were the worst. When I would get up and try to go downstairs to the kitchen, I had to have both hand rails on the stairs to balance myself or I would nearly fall down. Go to your doc and ask for something like this. It really did work for me!!!

Answer 4

I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.

So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.

Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.

A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.

Heal your ankle fully & fast?

It could be the way you sleep. My knee always hurts for a little while after I wake up. Try icing it. After 2 days of icing it for at least 15 min. a day. Try a heating pad.
