Systemic causes of ankle pain include gout, and different types of arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis. Sometimes these conditions are associated with a genetic predisposition. In other cases, there are things we can do to prevent these problems. Since they are chronic conditions, the best preventative measures include the following:
- Scheduling a visit with your doctor to run a few tests and detect potential problems early on.
- Eating healthily and trying to avoid inflammatory foods and drinks, including processed foods, sugary foods and drinks, and saturated fats.
- Using anti-inflammatory and antioxidant herbs and supplements such as turmeric, ginger, black pepper, echinacea, aloe vera, and vitamin C.
- Exercising regularly to promote healthy joints and muscles.
