I went to Hanaro Orthopedic Clinic and had my ankle examined.

Recently, my mom has been saying that her ankles keep aching. She has always been very concerned about her ankle health.

I knew that your legs would give out even when you were just sitting still because you were a bit weak, but since you rarely showed any signs of pain, I assumed you had bumped into something or fallen again. I visited Hanaro Orthopedic Clinic, which has been in the neighborhood for a long time. There is usually a bit of a wait here, but since it is sometimes less crowded around 3 or 4 PM, I made a point of visiting a bit later rather than early in the morning. I had a consultation to check for ankle issues and had an X-ray taken; there were no major problems with the bone. However, they did discover an issue with the ligaments. They told me it wasn't a major problem, but the ligaments were stretched and weakened compared to your age. In short, aging was the issue. Using an anatomical model, they explained everything slowly and clearly from a patient's perspective. The doctor here is actually a bit prickly, but he is kind and caring towards patients and examines them thoroughly. The staff are also friendly. I learned that the only way to heal an ankle is to use it less and avoid injury. Since there was some pain, I received a two-week supply of medication. I also purchased an ankle brace at the clinic. Just so you know, the ones sold at the hospital are good, but they're expensive... so I just recommend places like Coupang... haha... Since they were in pain right away, we urgently bought them at the hospital. Now that they are taking medication consistently, avoiding using their ankle as much as possible, and wearing a brace, they have improved a lot, but I think we still need to keep monitoring them. Still, visiting Hanaro Orthopedic Clinic seems to have resolved some of their health concerns, so I think it was a good decision to visit.
