Pain and difficulty walking upon getting up in the morning, usually occurring around the ankle, are generally caused by prolonged lack of exercise, trauma, or similar factors. This condition may also lead to local muscle blood stasis, blocked meridians, and muscle adhesion. Patients should promptly go to the hospital for an X-ray examination to determine the exact cause. Medications that promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and unblock meridians may be considered as treatment options.
