Dr. Lin Yunfei
Ankle pain is generally caused by gout, inflammation, avascular necrosis of the talus, and similar conditions. Inflammatory factors associated with rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic arthritis, and other types of arthritis can lead to ankle pain. The main symptoms include redness, swelling, warmth, and pain in the ankle joint. Ankle pain may also occur when tumors develop in the bones or soft tissues of the ankle, which require diagnosis and treatment through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
