Symptoms

Inflammation of the ankle joint manifests itself as swelling, redness, overheating and restricted movement of the joint, accompanied by severe pain. Depending on the cause, such an inflammation usually develops within a few days and lasts for several weeks without therapy. Patients suffering from an inflammation in the ankle usually notice stabbing or pulling pain early on.

Cooling compresses usually improve the symptoms. A pronounced inflammation in the ankle joint already leads to severe complaints when the patient is at rest. Furthermore, a feeling of rubbing when performing movements is one of the typical symptoms of an inflammation in the ankle joint.

This rubbing sensation is usually perceived by the affected patients as vibration. The normal range of movement is also significantly limited in the presence of an inflammation in the ankle joint. In cases of low inflammatory processes, pain is mainly caused by movements of the ankle joint, especially when the foot is rolling and while walking.

In most cases, tendosynovitis of the foot heals without any problems, provided the impaired joint is immobilized. However, if the inflammatory processes continue over a longer period of time, there is a risk that the disease will take on a chronic course. For this reason, patients who feel the appropriate symptoms should consult an orthopedic specialist as soon as possible and appropriate treatment should be initiated.
