Ankle pain

Your ankle can hurt for all sorts of reasons, from a dull ache after a long walk to sharp pain that stops you putting any weight on your foot. It's a complex joint made up of bone, ligament, tendon and muscle, so pain can come from any one of these parts, or from the nerves and blood vessels that run alongside them.
