What should I do about severe ankle and foot pain when I walk?

Good morning, ma'am,

Is it possible to know the circumstances of appearance? Is it due to exercise, a particular activity, a shock or trauma, new shoes?

Are there other symptoms such as swelling or redness?

Have you tried anything for this problem?

Thank you for your help!

Thanks for the feedback!

So it sounds like an injury is involved.

You can continue the Voltaren if you wish, and if you are not pregnant at this time. I strongly suggest ice in a wet towel or bag for 10-15 minutes as often as needed during the day.

For treatment of an injury, I recommend consulting a physiotherapist. They are the best professionals to assess the pain and develop a realistic treatment plan for you to heal and prevent future injuries. Most group insurance plans cover this type of service.

I hope this has been helpful to you and if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me
