Inner ankle pain
Posted: Jun 13, 2013
Hi all,
For the last 2 years or so I have been suffering from right inner ankle pain. It has progressively gotten more and more painful. I have had x-rays and it shows nothing is wrong. I am pretty sure it's has to be posterior tibialis tendinitis, but now it's starting on the left ankle. When I rotate my right ankle in a circle, I can feel a popping sensation that doesn't really feel like it's bone, but it is so terribly sore. I wondered if maybe pushing the foot pedal could cause this. I don't jog so I know it's not due to that. I am thinking of going to a podiatrist and see if there is anything I can do for it before the left ankle gets as painful as the right one.
Thanks all :)

inner ankle pain - me
[ In Reply To ..]Try taking Bayer Back and Body. It works miracles. If you can, have an ANA bloodwork done. And get referred to a foot and ankle doc and rheumatologist.
Thank you, I will try this. - tooyoungtohurt
[ In Reply To ..]Thank you so much for that info. I will make an appointment tomorrow to see my doctor and do the blood work and the referrals. Thank you again!
Same popping (sm) - Rose
[ In Reply To ..]I don't have any ideas as to your diagnosis, but have the same popping in the right ankle. I've used my right foot on the foot pedal for over 25 years. When rotating the foot clockwise at about 1 o'clock something pops in the top right side of the foot. It didn't cause pain itself, but I started limping on the foot. I switched to using the left foot on the foot pedal, which was MUCH easier than I expected and the right foot pain cleared up in a couple of months. Hope your condition is transient too.

Front Of Ankle PainSep 29, 2010
Does anyone else have pain in the front of their ankle from using the foot pedal? After waaaay too many years doing this job, the front of both ankles (I switch feet while transcribing) are now really bothering me. No swelling, tho. I go to the gym 2 hours a day and of that, 45 min is cardio. Ankles don't bother me then. Wondering if anyone has had this and found a solution? Any advice would be most greatly appreciated! ...

Ankle/foot SwellingAug 10, 2011
For the 2nd time in 2 weeks I have had extreme foot and ankle swellling. Funny enough it has happened exactly a week from the first episode. I used to swell just a little bit from working but by the next morning, it would have subsided. Not these past 2 times. Last week, I went to the doctor and got some Lasix and even after taking 1/2-1 tablet per day of this, my feet are still swollen 3+. It is very uncomfortable and unnerving. Should I go back to the doctor or put my f ...

PainJan 25, 2010
Hey, m'lovely MT sisters, I suspect I have bursitis in my right shoulder. It started as pain in my right arm biceps area and I had an odd rash in the area, so to be honest I was afraid it might have been shingles (never had them, but heard they're very painful). Ladies, it's been about 6 weeks and it's still freakling painful, but I believe I was wrong on precisely where the pain was originating. I believe it's emanating at my right shoulder joint. I&# ...

Old MT/QA With PainMay 13, 2010
I have been an MT/QA for 24 years. I have fibromyalgia, arthritis, have had bilateral carpal tunnel release, and I have cervical impingement. I tried a new product called Evolv enhanced water beverage which has a formula called Archaea Active. It claims to "promote a healthy inflammatory response." Honestly, I was skeptical about it, but I am here to testify that this is truly a Godsend!! It was explained to me that it increases oxygen at the cellular level and ...
Leg PainDec 05, 2013
For the last couple weeks, whenever I go to bed, if I am on my back or side, I awaken several times with pain in my right calf and knee, if I turn on my stomach it goes away. The first couple hours I am up in the morning it is painful, cannot put my right leg over my left, cannot cross my leg to put on my shoes because it immediately causes a sharp pain to shoot through my leg. Cannot bend over because of the same. After moving around about two hours it is okay pretty much the ...

Pain At The PumpMar 01, 2012
Do you ever wonder why the gas prices are up and down? There is still about the same amount of gas out there (although it is a finite resouce that is going away) and we are still using about the same, more or less, with our more efficient vehicles. The price fluctuates because the Wall Street traders can make it fluctuate. They do this so they can make money. In 2008, (Bush Administration, by the way) the prices were over $4.00 a gallon. The Obama administratio ...
Pain In ShinsJun 02, 2011
Hi. I actually have a health question related to transcribing! I've transcribed for over 25 years and have had no problems other than tight neck and shoulders; no hand, wrist or arm pain.

Have Pain Right BoobApr 29, 2012
I participated in water aerobics and about a week later woke up with a painful boob and this has been going on for about 4-5 days. So, I'm thinking I pulled something. Never had this before. Now, I am obese so the boobs are more like jugs. Aso for the past month I have been taking those raspberry ketone pills as seen on Doc Oz, and noticed they were working, with a loss of tummy fat and my boops-while they did not shrink-they more like 'emptied ou ...

Back Pain......severeFeb 13, 2012
Any suggestions for severe higher back pain? It's around my left shoulder blade and goes into my chest. I've done the heat and ice, hot bath, Advil, Flexeril, and sleeping in different beds in the house. Nothing is working and it is literally killing me. Unfortunately I work for a company with very little work so I can't just up and go to the doctor. Sitting here and working is just too hard when all I want to do is lay down and try to sleep. ...
