Ankle synovitis is primarily associated with ankle strain or cold stimulation. It is important to rest and appropriately reduce physical exercise, especially activities involving excessive knee flexion such as climbing stairs or hiking. Applying heat, massage, and physical therapy may help improve blood circulation. When pain is severe, oral non-steroidal analgesics can be taken. It is advisable to visit the hospital's joint surgery or sports medicine department for a knee MRI examination. Ankle synovitis mainly requires daily care: first, avoid catching a cold; keep the ankle joint from excessive movement, avoid strenuous exercise, and reduce lower limb load.
