Ankle swollen, bruised feels like shooting sparks and burning?
I can understand your frustration, and with the current situation with pain management, many are falling between the cracks. Many people have multiple sources of pain, which at the end of the day is a subjective symptom and cannot be measured. You may need a dual approach: 1) assessment and pain management by an interventional pain specialist in view of the suspicion of complex pain syndrome, etc. 2) Diagnosis of etiology, which may involve a team including vascular neurology, etc. You should probably go to university affiliated or higher center where all specialities may be available.
