Hello @marshabel, I would like to add my welcome to Connect along with @jimhd and other members. Since you mentioned you only started having the severe pain in the left ankle the past few months I'm wondering if it might be due to something else like Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome which ... "in some individuals, symptoms may affect one spot such as the inside of the ankle. In other individuals, symptoms can affect the ankle, heel and foot." -- Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome: https://rarediseases.org/rare-diseases/tarsal-tunnel-syndrome/.

Does this sound similar to your symptoms?
