Andkle Sprain and Pain

A year ago I sprained my right ankle and was in a lot of pain.  I notice now that if I so much as over do it, I end up with a lot of pain in the ligaments and tendons aroung the ankle itself.  Not to mention it is affecting the knee, as I had a partial knee replacement years ago and when this ankle acts up, then I get a pain in the back of the knee.  Who should I see?  An Orthopedic for the ankle or the knee?  I need to be able to exercise and do a good walk every day to keep the winter weight off.  Sitting around babying a knee every day isn't going to help me any.

Hello!

Your ligament injuries in the ankle should be cured so that your ankle problems do not become recurrent.

You should consult an orthopedician for proper treatment. MRI and X-ray would be helpful to know the present status of your ankle injury.

I would suggest you to take this up as you would need regular exercise and physiotherapy even after knee replacement to be fit and doing your normal chores.

Take care!
