Question
A middle-aged woman inquires about the causes and severity of occasional warmth in her ankle, which she has never had checked in detail.
Answer
As a woman in her forties transitions into the middle to late stages of life, significant changes occur in the endocrine system, which can lead to abnormal sensations in certain areas. In addition to neurological diseases, these changes can also cause abnormal sensations. It is recommended to monitor symptom changes and return to an orthopedic or rheumatology consultation to rule out related diseases. The condition is not serious, so there is no need to worry excessively.
