“What could be the cause of my joints pain?”

Thank you for your question Joint pain and in particular ankle pain can have many potential causes If 1 had an ankle injury in the past this could potentially lead to what we call a post traumatic osteoarthritis When we use the term inflammatory arthritis we are talking about conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and others. Typically these conditions cause very marked morning stiffness and inflammatory swelling around the joints affected Ankle pain commonly can relate to tendonitis and this has typically determined by listening to a patient's symptoms and then examining them and then doing further testing Joint pain can caused by infection but I doubt that that is the cause of your symptoms simply because that cause rash acute pain swelling fever chills and is a medical emergency The ankle can be affected by osteoarthritis and we would suspect that if we thought the range of motion of the ankles were less than normal and x-rays supported the diagnosis with joint space narrowing and bone spurring called osteophytes My advice to you would be to see your primary care physician and determine what can be done and or get a referral to a specialist I hope you get feeling better and wish you well!
