1. Weak ankles:

There are people who suffer ankle pain more than others. This is due to the fact that the ligaments are somewhat weaker, that they get more tired since they are thinner or are not as strong as those of the rest of people.
Sometimes badly curing sprains often cause this reality. And eye, note also that the use of inappropriate footwear for a long time, such as heels, often also cause weakness of ligaments and, consequently, ankle pain.
Doctors warn that a poor diet or even stress can also lead to this picture of pain or discomfort.

2. A sprain:

All have suffered them. A bad movement, a misstep, a minor accident... Sprains are basically those existing in our ankle ligament injury. They are too stretched in a given time and break, something extremely painful which always causes a swelling in the affected area.
It is very common in athletes, but that doesn't mean that at any given time we stumble, we fall or demos that misstep where suddenly we noticed we can not walk already.

3. Pain ankle arthritis:

To differentiate if your ankle pain due to arthritis or a simple weakness of ligaments, look at whether your pain extends also to the sole of the foot with the heel. Also differentiate it because it is not something specific that appears suddenly, not a sprain.
This pain often appears and becomes more intense in cold weather or when we have walked more than necessary. The pain is not sharp, is like a burning that surrounds the entire foot and ankle not only. Arthritis usually appears with age and although no cure, if we follow palliative treatments.
