Why is there pain in the muscles behind the ankle

There are many tendons on the back of the human thigh. These tendons can control the flexible movement of human bones and joints, and can also prevent the human body from being injured due to excessive movement. If there is pain in the tendons behind the leg socks, it is very likely that people have accidentally pulled the tendons in their legs, and care is needed at this time. Let’s take a look at what causes pain in the tendons behind the ankle.

The ankle is the common name for "ankle". The ankle is one of the symptoms of gout. Ankle pain is generally caused by gout, sprains and other factors. Due to the occurrence of these two factors, patients experience ankle pain.

Generally, some physiological pains are symmetrical pains in both feet, but some traumas or neurovascular diseases may only manifest as pain in one foot. It is recommended that you observe carefully first to clarify the specific cause of your foot pain, whether it is bilateral or unilateral, whether there is any redness, swelling, or increased skin temperature, whether there are any lumps in the local area, whether you have suffered trauma, whether you have some of the above diseases such as diabetes, whether there are local rashes, abscesses, etc. If the symptoms do not improve within three days or the symptoms continue to worsen, please go to the hospital to determine the cause and then treat the symptoms, so as to avoid some more rational injuries that are not treated in time and lead to damage to the function of the foot.

If the ankle pain is caused by gout, gout attacks usually occur more frequently in the big toe joint, ankle joint, knee joint, etc. Long-term gout patients may have attacks in the finger joints and even the soft tissue part of the auricle. In acute gout attacks, the site of the attack becomes red, swollen, hot, and painful. The attack usually occurs at midnight and can wake people up from sleep. In the early stages of gout, attacks often occur in the lower limbs. Patients need to go to the hospital immediately to receive treatment for gout to prevent the disease from worsening and leading to more serious conditions.
