Ankle pain can be improved with muscle strengthening exercises specifically designed for the foot and ankle.

Exercises that strengthen the hip muscles and improve flexibility can help make a waddling gait more steady. Working on hip abductor strength, stretching, balance, and core stabilization can all make walking easier.

Loose ankles, often due to joint issues, can be managed by addressing underlying problems and using technology for assessment.

Pain at the front of the ankle can be caused by conditions like anterior ankle impingement, often due to repeated ankle movements or previous injuries.

A weird feeling in the ankle could be due to issues with the sacroiliac joint, lasting effects of an Achilles injury, or even unusual activities like bungee jumping.

Ankle pain during running can be caused by injuries like sprains, tendonitis, or stress fractures. It's important to understand these causes to prevent and manage the pain effectively.

Pain when twisting your elbow could be caused by strain or injury to the tendons where the muscles attach, such as what is seen in conditions like tennis elbow or golfer's elbow.

An injury to your elbow, like a fracture or dislocation, can cause scar tissue or extra bone growth that makes bending or straightening your elbow hard.

Most people with ongoing elbow pain can improve with rest, proper exercises, and sometimes medications like NSAIDs. It’s important to see a doctor to create a plan that fits your needs.

Posterior tibial tendonitis can be treated with rest, physical therapy, orthotics, and sometimes surgery, depending on the severity.

You may want to see either a sports medicine doctor or an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in elbow injuries. They can help examine your elbow, diagnose the cause of the pain, and suggest the best treatment options.

Seek medical attention for a sprained ankle if you experience severe pain, cannot bear weight, notice significant swelling or bruising, or if the ankle looks deformed.

Exercises like eccentric strengthening and specific foot movements can help improve posterior tibial tendonitis by making the tendon stronger and reducing pain.

Nighttime elbow pain may be due to lateral epicondylitis, sometimes called tennis elbow, which can worsen during sleep because of certain positions that put extra pressure on the elbow.

Elbow pain when you straighten your arm can be due to tendon problems from overuse (like tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow) or nerve issues such as cubital tunnel syndrome. These conditions hurt the joints and muscles around the elbow, making movements painful.

The pain in your elbow when twisting your wrist might be from tendon overuse or slight injury to the muscles and tendons that support the elbow joint.

Your elbow pain may come from overusing the muscles and tendons around your elbow during weightlifting. Using good technique, proper stretching, and strengthening exercises can help prevent the pain.

When you sleep with your elbows bent, it may put pressure on nerves like the ulnar nerve in your cubital tunnel, causing pain or numbness.

Your elbow may hurt when it is bent because something in the joint—like tendons, nerves or ligaments—could be strained or injured. This pain may come from overuse, a minor injury, or instability in the elbow joint.

Your elbow may hurt when you bend it because the tissues that support the joint (like tendons and ligaments) might be inflamed, strained, or injured.
