Sports medicine and ankle pain go hand in hand ( or in our case foot in foot). Being active can contribute to natural wear and tear. Too often these injuries, when left untreated can go on to require more invasive treatments. When one goes to an ankle expert they can expect for the doctor to differentiate between a peroneal tendon problem vs one of the many ankle ligaments vs that joint cartilage vs bone issues. As you can see there is much going on by the ankle. Make sure you are clear with your doctor about when and how the injury happened , because that can give us the ability to get to the correct diagnosis. Lastly , remember the longer you let it sit the worse it can get. Let us get you back into action as soon as possible.
