Ankle pain refers to any type of discomfort in your ankles. This pain could be caused by an injury, like a sprain such as arthritis. According to the Advanced Pain Center Lahore, an ankle sprain is one of the most common causes of ankle pain — making up 85 percent of ankle injuries. A sprain occurs when your ligaments (the tissues that connect bones) get overstretched. Pain can also be a result of arthritis, gout, nerve damage such as sciatica, blocked blood vessels, infection in the joint. For immediate, home treatment of ankle pain include:
