ankle pain

Lower leg discomfort

Ankle pain is discomfort or soreness in the joint connecting the foot to the leg.

The term appears frequently in medical contexts and symptom searches: I've had ankle pain ever since the sprain, persistent ankle pain when walking.

It covers everything from mild achiness to sharp, debilitating pain from injury or chronic conditions.
