Ankle swelling, foot throbs as if exploding when it is just hanging.

Go get this looked at NOW if you think it could be a blood clot.  My best friend's husband spent a week in ICU for this.  If it is a clot, parts of it can break off and go to your lungs, heart, or brain.  He had a throbbing and swelling also.  It's probably not a clot, but who wants to take that chance!  I hope you are okay!

my friend had heart surgery and that happened to her due to an infection 2wks after her surgery.  Or it could be a brisk movement has torn stiches, either way have it checked out asap.

It's a good idea to get it checked out by a Podiatrist if you have one, then you can get all the right answers to stretching and braces, etc.  Next resort is your primary doc.  If it's tendonitis, ice and Ibuprofen.  Elevating is good for swelling, wrap the ankle or get a brace if you continue to play.

The inner part of your ankle can be sprained, or fractured.\n\nThe bony prominence in the inside edge of your ankle is called the medical malleolus and is part of the tibia bone, it is possible to fracture this bone.  Usually a fracture here occurs when you invert (twist your ankle).\n\nIt is also possible to strain the medial ligaments of your ankle, if this has occured the usually treatment is analgesia (pain relief), rest, elevation, ice and ankle support (ankle strapping).  Recurrent spraining of the ankle can sometimes be prevented by a physiotherapist teaching you ankle strengthening exercises.  A sprained ankle can take up to 6-12 weeks to fully heal.\n\nOnly your doctor and an xray can distinguish between a sprain and a fracture that requires a foot plaster.  If it is not improving with time/rest see a doctor.

If you haven't changed your shoes anytime recently (which might account for this discomfort) it's possible you're having an allergic reaction.  Since it seems to be localized to your instep, it's possible you've been bitten or stung by something.  Monitor the swelling, make sure it doesn't spread.  If it does, take an antihistamine (benadryl).\n\nChances are this is a bite of some kind if you haven't experienced an injury in this area.  Keep an eye on it and see the doctor, he/she may be able to give you something for it.

Go right now to the emergency room.  If it swells more it can cut off her airway and she could choke to death. This is a very serious matter.

compression is the best thing you can do. I'm an athlete and have suffered some pretty bad sprains and compression has always worked but only if it's a sprain.\n\nbut in your case it sounds more like a fracture than a sprain. temporarily put crushed ice in a plastic bag and put it on ur ankle and put a little pressure...not too much pressure or you'll make it worse. depending on how much cold your skin can take do this for an hour or so.\n\ngive an hours break and then put your ankle in a tub filled with hot water...again as hot as you can take. it'll sooth the pain. keep it in until the water cools off.\nthen if u have bandages at home, apply a little pain relief cream on your ankle and wrap up your ankle properly and carefully.\nbe very careful about how tight you tie it. if it's too tight you'll hurt yourself worse.\n\nif you don't wanna risk the bandages alternate the compression and hot water treatment.\notherwise just the hot water treatment will do.\nhope this helps...best of luck\n\nn yeah try not to move around much...use a walking stick.

Sounds like a neuropathy (nerve impingement).  I have the same thing and it is a diabetic neuropathy.  I know, it does drive you crazy.  I sometime put pressure on it with my other foot or massage it and it helps a little.

Are you in occupation that you stand alot?  You might want to go see you doctor just to make sure nothing bad may be going on.  A friend of mine also  had your same symptoms but she was always standing , and the shoes she was wearing did not give support to her arch on that foot.  The side swelled because that side of her body was compensating for lack of support on her other side.  Have your blood pressure checked and make sure you have steady blood flow in your legs, make sure it's not Deep Vein Thrombosis or a blood clot.\n\nGood luck\nHope this helps

sounds like a pinched nerve

Sounds like you are subconsciously making up for the slight immobility in your leg. I can understand why it would cause foot pain, especially in the Achilles tendon, since your inertia as you move would be causing you to be hyperextending your foot. It's probably also connected to the knee pain. You may have developed a habitual limp. Anyone who's ever injured their knee or ankle has experienced the same sort of feeling. I can imagine that this feels completely abnormal though, or else you wouldn't have been describing it here. If you have BlueCross BlueShield, I know that specialists are covered without recommendation under "special office visits". You should have an orthopaedist do an xray to ensure that your cartilage isn't developing elasticity and that it's not flipping around a bone or growth. He should also watch your walk and see what habits you may have developed. Do you have a cane? I've learned that this can cause a weekness in certain muscles, causing others to over-compensate.
