Hello people,
Anyone here experiencing chronic ankle pain from past sprains, and have reduced plantar flexion motion ? I'm at loss of solutions and still can't figure out the reason for the reduced plantar flexion, been to many doctors who said the MRI showed everything to be fine> could be that I'm going to the wrong doctors aswell , they are not so bright here in ukraine..

I don't have ankle pain and I am sorry your docs have not discovered anything; at least they say they haven't. All I can suggest is keep pushing and searching until you find a doc who orders the right tests. Sometimes radiologists misread the scan too. In my case my MRI was misread by 2 radiologists before a third one caught the error. It was lifesaving for me. Hang in there hun:) I kept pushing forward until I found a good doc.

I agree with beautiful keep searching for doctors til you get help finding out what is wrong. Even if you have to drive long distance it will be worth it. Hope you find a good doctor and get it taken care of keep us updated and may God bless you. :-7

Valhalla,
I'm also Ukrainian-3rd generation here in the US. It's nice to meet you!

What kind of pain do you have? Is it more than expected? Burning, stabbing? Sensitive to touch?

Why I ask is that I developed RSD after an ankle fracture. It is neurogenic pain. I had a Spinal Cord Stimulator placed in October that has greatly reduced my pain.

If you are curious, you can google RSD or CRPS (Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome). You may get an answer. Let us know.

It sounds like a tendon issue. CT's work but for tendons and ligaments. I have deteriorating tendons from head to toe. I hope you get answers and relief soon.

Healing hugs,

I have ankle pain and hip pain, both are being caused by lower back injury. It is like there is a vice clamp on my ankle. I can not rotate the foot at all. Strange, but the actual injury for me is in the lower back not the ankle. Good luck. -RJ

I have cp in my back from an injury. I fell about 6 inches onto my tail bone. it did not break just tore up the muscles. Then I mistakenly went to a chiropractor who thought all medications are evil. There were days when I literally could not breathe at all. Finally went to ER one time when hubby caught me struggling to suck in breath and turning blue.
An orthopedic surgeon gave me a decent treatment plan but the damage was done by then.
