Arthritis: Inflammatory joint conditions that can affect the ankle, leading to pain and stiffness.
Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons around the ankle due to overuse or improper biomechanics.
Fractures: Breaks or cracks in the ankle bones, often caused by trauma or high-impact injuries.

Signs and Symptoms:

Pain and Tenderness: Persistent pain, tenderness, or soreness around the ankle joint.
Swelling: Inflammation and swelling, often accompanied by warmth in the affected area.
