Wake up with sudden pain in ankle as if sprained

Generally, when you wake up and feel pain in your ankle for no reason, but there is no sign of redness, swelling or injury. Generally, it may be caused by being tired, walking a lot, and having a lot of activities in recent time. When encountering this situation, the main thing to do is to rest, avoid weight bearing, soak your feet in warm water, and other physical therapy processes. Generally it will get better slowly. The specific physical therapy methods have been written below.

1. It may be caused by deficiency of Qi and blood. You can take blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs to relieve symptoms. Commonly used drugs include Taoren Chengqi Decoction, Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction, Fuyuan Huoxue Decoction, Wenjing Decoction, etc. Exercise is also the simplest and most effective way to activate blood circulation.

2. It may be a symptom of tenosynovitis. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a specific examination. Tenosynovitis is a chronic disease. If you rely solely on medication, it will only relieve the pain caused by the disease and will not have much effect on the disease itself. If you want to treat the disease, it is recommended to use laser needle knife release for treatment. The therapy has significant therapeutic effect and is well received by patients.

3. It may be caused by catching a cold and then turning into rheumatism. The phlegm and dampness accumulate and block the meridians, causing pain or paralysis. The meridians will be unblocked if the phlegm and dampness are washed out, and the pain will go away. In your case, manual treatment is the fastest and best. And there are no side effects.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that all pain is caused by wind-cold-dampness, phlegm-dampness, and blood stasis (hyperplasia, lumps, hypertrophy, and rheumatism all fall into the category of blood stasis). Blood is blocked in the meridians, causing poor blood circulation, and inability of nutrients to pass through, which causes tendons to become stiff or adhered, compressing the nerves and causing pain or paralysis. To completely cure the disease, it is necessary to release the tendons, not compress the nerves, and dredge the meridians (the ancient treatment of hanging to wash away pain/hanging to wash away rheumatism has the effects of washing out phlegm and dampness and blood, softening malnutrition, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and promoting the recombination of Qi and blood).

When we feel unwell, we cannot rush to seek treatment or take medication blindly. We must understand the cause and then make adjustments to get more timely and effective improvement. The above is an introduction to why our feet hurt when we wake up in the morning. I hope many friends will pay attention to it after understanding it.
