/ Signs You Need an Ankle Doctor's Strength of Experience

If you are suffering from any of the following symptoms, you may have an ankle condition or injury:

  • Ankle or foot pain when you are not bearing weight
  • Ankle stiffness or weakness
  • Limited range of motion of the ankle
  • Sudden intense pain
  • Swelling in the ankle

Ankle pain, as well as any of the above symptoms, can have a significant impact on your daily life. If you are experiencing any of those symptoms for more than a few days or if your ankle pain worsens, you should schedule an appointment with a surgeon or doctor specializing in the ankle. The ankle surgeon or doctor may diagnose you with one of the following injuries or conditions:

  • A form of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis
  • Achilles tendonitis
  • Bunion
  • Deformity
  • Fracture
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Sports-related injury
  • Sprain
  • Tendon injury, such as an Achilles tendon rupture

No matter what your ankle ailment is, our ankle doctors at North Texas Orthopedics & Spine Center have the strength of experience to get you back to the activities you love.
