[mag9809]

For the last six weeks I have this very severe shock like nerve pain in my left ankle right below the bone,some times it so severe that it makes me week, I have been to numerous dr`s had x-rays ,mri`s with and without dye.I had nerve tests & shock like tests and no one seems to be able to help me. If you or anyone out there could shed some light on this very mysterious problem I would be so grateful!
As with any long term pain it is starting to depress me especially when it goes away for a day or two and I think its leaving and then again it starts, I don`t do anything to aggiavate it and i try to relax but i dosen

The sharp pain under the ankle under any circumstance seems to be a common theme.  

I don't notice inflammation but I can trigger it by pressing hard under the ankle.  I am in my forties and very active.  The pain is random and debilitating BUT only ever in my right ankle.  I have scar tissue and broken bones all my body from extreme sports?  Why my right ankle and why now?

This sounds so familiar. I have scar tissue and broken bones all over my body due to extreme sports but I've never had nerve pain before until this year.  

How are you now?

I have seen six doctors in the last two months because I am experiencing spasms in different parts of my body and the first spasm started just below the ankle bone.  The pain is intense, 10/10 and only lasts for split seconds but it can be repetitive.  I think there is a mechanical component because it never happens when I sleep on my left side but sitting (I sit for 12 hours a day) or sleeping on my right side triggers it.  Acupuncture and osteopathy seems to help but I am VERY interested to find out if there is a link to Calcium, Magnesium and vitamin D.

I have had dozens of ankle "shocks" in the last hour and this is the first time that this has happened.

Please send me your thoughts.

I started with this pain 2 days ago whe I thought I was bitten by a bee or something ..until this pain has repeated itself for the last few days. I feel like I'm going to lose my mind...I have trigiminal nerve pain on my left side, pulsating tinnitus for 2 years now in the left ear...and I think it's all related..some how. I have disk issues in c 4, 5, 6 and 7.. Seeing the orthodox surgeon this coming Friday for his opinion I already have the MRI results..also lumbar pain, L2/3 exploded 3 years ago. Um..oh yeah, a mild bulging disk in my thoracic T7/8 which these des seem to think is insignificant but is causing spasms in my mid back that wraps around anteriorly triggering SEVERE esophageal spasms which are so painful, the first time sends you to the ER bc u think its a heart attack...and a Syrinx (fluid cyst) in my thoracic spine.. Now this! Why is it so hard to find a doctor that can connect the dots?

A few years ago a had severe bone loss on my dexa. My pop said here, take a pill.. I'm a Massage Therapist so I understand the bodies systems pretty good...I diagnosis MYSELF with secondary hyperparathyroidism, had the tests done and went to an Endocrinologist. It started from a vitamin D difficiency that caused the parathyroid to run high. Not enough calcium in the blood..the body will take it from your bones. I rebuilt bones and am fine now. Vita,in D causes all kinds of things... I never heard of nerve issues tho. Will look into that. Will see what this ortho thinks of this new symptom...

To everyone with undiagnosed ankle pain.  I certainly have empathy for what you are going through with the pain. I also have same symptoms with unsuccessful Dr's diagnoses.  I believe it's a pinched nerve in the ankle and therefore I have been extremely happy with no pain since seeing a Chiropractor.  He pulls my foot away from my body and does what ever he does, and I have no pain at all for weeks at a time.  It has stopped the pain for me.  Hope it can help even one person out there with this pain.
