Sudden ankle pain with no signs?

The ankle is the joint between the foot and the leg. This part is very important to people's health because the ankle can bear people's weight, is very mobile, and has great strength and toughness. The ankle is also a part that is prone to disease and is very important to health. For example, many people often experience symptoms of ankle pain, but are there any signs of sudden ankle pain?

Causes of Sudden Ankle Pain :

Ankle sprain

Severe ankle sprains lead to chronic instability. Ankle sprains are one of the most common orthopedic emergencies. Among sports injuries, 40% are ankle sprains, and in basketball, the figure reaches 52%. Doctors generally don’t take a sprained ankle seriously. They just use some Voltalen or spray some medicine and let the patient go home. In fact, more severe ligament injuries are much more serious than fractures. The movement of joints is maintained by ligaments. If the ligaments next to the joints are broken, the movement of the joints will become unstable. If an ankle sprain is not treated well, it will leave long-term instability and swelling of the ankle. Long-term joint instability will wear out the cartilage on the surface of the joint, and cartilage cannot be regenerated. When cartilage is damaged, pain begins to occur and inflammation of the joints occurs. Gradually worsens, resulting in joint deformities. The deformity, in turn, can exacerbate joint damage.

Achilles tendinitis

Literally, it means inflammation of the Achilles tendon. Generally speaking, it is caused by excessive stress on the calf gastrocnemius muscle and Achilles tendon during sports, such as playing basketball. In addition, a sudden increase in the intensity or frequency of exercise can often cause Achilles tendonitis. Pain, soreness, tenderness, or stiffness above or inside the heel that worsens with activity, usually in the back of the heel. The ankle is not flexible and becomes red and swollen, or the skin over the Achilles tendon becomes red and hot. When the disease worsens, the tendon will swell and nodules will appear in the affected area.

Talus osteochondral fracture

"Sprained ankle" is a very common phenomenon in our daily life. Many people don't take it seriously and think it's not a big deal. In fact, if you sprain your ankle repeatedly, it will often cause damage to the talus osteocartilage.

Talus osteochondral injury is a type of ankle cartilage injury (in addition to talus osteochondral injury, tibia cartilage injury may also occur), and it is very common in clinical practice. The main manifestation is partial articular cartilage exfoliation, which affects the deeper subchondral bone. (Subchondral bone is an important "shock absorber" and an important tissue that affects the metabolism of articular cartilage.)
