Pain in my ankle--is it arthritis?

I am having a severe pain starting in my ankle and radiates up through my leg! Tylenol arthritis and such doesnt help!! Anything else I can do? I've tried ice packs and heat packs...ive tried toes above the nose...almost everything!! Its some serious OUCHIES!!! lol thats what my son used to say!! Does it sound like arthritis to you?

Could be arthritis sounds more like spur or pressure pain though i think I would ask Doc for an xray that wasy you would know best way to treat I often get pain in feet legs that i know is not arthiritis becasue it differs than the pain in my shoulder /knees which I know is arthritis I believe this pain is pressure I also have at kleaset 100lbs to lose hope it helps

Tylenol has no anti-inflammatory properties.Can you take NSAIDs? They're really about the only thing that actually treats the cause of the pain, not just masks the pain.

Ive had Rheumatoid Arthritis for over 5 years and the pain began in my ankles. However it was more on both ankles and so hard to stand up. With R.A. it affects both joints on both sides of the body, I forget the term but basically both wrists, both shoulders, both hip joints etc. or whatever is hurting you at the time. I would take Aleve and it would help so much but then as time went by it stopped and I had to get on hardcore meds. Its all undercontrol now :)

Regarding your pain, Have you been working out lately that could have strained that area? Fell or tripped? Not really sure if its arthritis but if it continues you can go to your doctor and they can do labs. Good luck to you and please keep us posted.

If you have sever pain cox 2 inhibitors like celebrex help.

In the ankle some tissue has swollen and it is pressing the nerve that is the reason the pain is radiating.

In  yoga there is micro exercise which activity all nervous system in the body.   practising yaga  helps you.
