Question

Middle-aged women may experience intermittent ankle heat, along with swelling, pain, or other symptoms. Do they have a history of injury? If not, the problem may not be serious.

Answer

As women enter their forties and transition into middle age and beyond, changes in the body’s endocrine system may cause abnormal sensations, and non-neurological diseases can also trigger such symptoms. It is advisable to observe any changes in symptoms and consider visiting an orthopedic or rheumatology department for a review to rule out related diseases. The condition is not severe, so there is no need to worry excessively.
