COMMON FOOT PROBLEMS Arthritis Achilles Tendon Injury or Rupture Bone Spurs Bunions Bursitis Flat Feet Fractures Ganglion Cysts Hammertoe/Mallet Toe/Claw Toe Heel Pain & Heel Spurs Metatarsalgia Morton's Neuroma Neuropathy (Diabetic Foot) Osteochondral Lesions Plantar Fasciitis Sesamoiditis Sprains & Strains Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome Tendonitis FOOT AND ANKLE PAIN The foot and ankle are complex mechanical structures that balance the weight of the body while providing support and mobility. Common symptoms of foot and ankle pain include swelling, tenderness, and discomfort in and around the joints, toes, or heel. Sudden (acute) injuries such as ligament sprains, muscle strains, and bone fractures can occur during sports activities like walking on uneven surfaces. Occupations that require long periods of standing or walking can also cause stress to the structures in the foot, leading to painful conditions such as stress fractures, plantar fasciitis, arthritis, and tendonitis to name a few. The ankle is a hard-working joint that connects the lower leg to the foot and supports the body's weight. Ankle pain may be felt in any part of the complex system of ligaments, muscles, tendons, or bones that make up the ankle area. People experiencing ankle pain or who have an ankle injury may have swelling, stiffness, bruising, or tenderness in and around their ankle, or have difficulty walking. While sports injuries are a common cause of ankle pain, it is possible to incur injury or pain with simple activities, such as stepping on an uneven surface. Pain in the ankle may be sudden such as an ankle sprain or can develop over time from repetitive motions associated with sports, work, or everyday life, causing conditions like tendonitis or tarsal tunnel syndrome.
