Hi lybrate-user ankle pain refers to any kind of pain affecting any part of the ankle. Ankle pain can happen for many reasons. The most common causes include injury, arthritis and normal wear and tear. Depending on the cause, you may feel pain or stiffness anywhere around the ankle. Your ankle may also swell, and you may not be able to put any weight on it. Usually, ankle pain gets better with rest, ice and over-the-counter pain medications. Many times conditions can be treated without surgery. However if the injury is severe, such as high grade soft tissue injury or when your ankle pain fails to improve with nonsurgical treatment approach like physiotherapy surgery is needed at last. If you?ve had an ankle injury physiotherapy plan can also help you heal. Physiotherapy strengthens the muscles that support your feet and ankles. The therapy can relieve pain and prevent future injuries. Hope you get answer of yours question. We pray you recovered soon. Thanks and regards
