So they haven't tested your blood for rheumatoid arthritis and lupus? So, you've gotten an EMG (electromyelogram) then?
Are your feet flat when you stand? If so, this can cause a lot of ankle and back problems & an excellent arch support may help.
What about a color doppler to check the circulation in that ankle? Ischemic pain can be extremely bad in the lower extremities. This is the kind of pain my grandma had with peripheral vascular disease- it's hereditary and I've read can show up as early as teenage years.
Have you tried alternative medicine, like acupuncture to see if that would help at all?

What tests have the eight different doctors run, if any? Did anyone suggest going to a rheumatologist to test to see if you might be suffering from fibromyalgia?
