SYMPTOMS OF ANKLE AND FOOT PAIN

The feet and ankles are composed of countless bones, tendons, ligaments and muscles – all of which work together to support the weight of your body and enable movement. Depending on which of these critical structures is injured or damaged, you may experience:

  • Pain on the heel, ball, arch, toe and/or outer edge of your foot
  • Discomfort that worsens or improves with activity
  • Limited movement
  • Loss of ankle flexibility
  • Tenderness
  • Stiffness
  • A dull ache

DIAGNOSING THE UNDERLYING CAUSE OF YOUR PAIN

There are a variety of injuries and conditions that can cause foot and ankle pain. Some of the most common ones among our patients in Los Angeles and surrounding areas include:

OSTEOARTHRITIS

Arthritis causes the joints in your foot and ankle to deteriorate over time, causing tenderness, pain, stiffness, swelling and limited mobility.

SPRAINED ANKLE

When the ligaments in your ankle are stretched or torn due to an injury, it’s referred to as a sprained ankle. Repeated injuries to this area can result in chronic pain and weakness, so prompt treatment is necessary.

PLANTAR FASCIITIS

One of the most common causes of heel pain, plantar fasciitis is very common among runners. It causes stabbing pain that is worse when you first wake up in the morning, but tends to improve throughout the day.

BURSITIS

Your foot and ankle joints are cushioned by fluid-filled cushions, called bursas. When these structures become inflamed, they can’t absorb shock as they’re intended to, and your joints may become irritated – causing pain, stiffness and swelling.

 

ACHILLES TENDINITIS

A common injury among runners and other athletes, Achilles tendinitis is an overuse injury that causes progressive pain in the back of the leg and above the heel after activity.
