Why is it every morning when I wake up my right ankle hurts?

Even on days I don't excercise. When I get up for work my ankle really hurts, than after about an hour it feels ok.
Have you ever sprained your ankle before in the past, even once or twice? If so, your ankle might have not healed properly. If you've done it more than twice you may always have that pain there without some type of physical therapy. Depending on what type of pain you feel (ex: soreness, shooting pain, throbbing) it can be serious or nothing to worry about. I myself, have pain in my left ankle because it was severely sprained about 3 times. Now, whenever I walk for a long period of time or sometimes just when I wake up it hurts & then goes away after awhile. If you feel like it's something that you are really concerned about don't hesitate to get some xrays and talk to a doctor. My father went years without checking a pain in his ankle and he found he had lots of hairline fractors that never healed properly. Now there isn't much he can do. So I say, it's better to be safe than sorry.
