Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

On my right leg, I am unable to pull my foot back and stretch my calf. This creates an uncomfortable feeling quite often as it always feels like I need to stretch it. I am not sure if this would have anything to do with my ankle being rolled on the same leg (right) earlier in the year. However, on the same leg again, very recently the bone on the front of my foot connecting the ankle has started to feel unusual. When pointing my foot inwards the bone itself sticks out a lot, which never happened before. This position is uncomfortable. Could these two things be due to spraining my ankle and stretching the insides of my foot? My ankle is unable to crack, which is annoying, and my ankle and foot crunches.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Well, your condition might have occurred due to tightness of the Achilles tendon or calf muscle tightness.We need to check for any kind of ankle mortise popping out of position. Sometimes, the talus bone gets locked up due to unusual twisting.There might be strain due to injury also. However, the following stretching exercise will help you. Consult your physiotherapist, discuss with him or her, and do the exercise with consent.Sit in a long sitting position with legs and knees straight. Try to touch your big toe with your hand, leaning forward and pulling it towards your body. Stretch with a count of 30 and release. Repeat twice daily.Stand in front of a chair. Place the affected leg on the chair with the knee straight and do not bend your leg. Lean forward and pull the big toe towards your body.Sit and perform ankle active exercises which include foot downward and upward movement, inward and outward movement, and circular motion of the ankle.Do not over-pressurize the ankle. Do all the above-mentioned very rhythmically and slowly.Do an x-ray to get confirmation regarding any subluxation or fracture.
