What It Feels Like
Foot or ankle pain can make every step uncomfortable, whether it’s a sharp pain when walking or a dull ache after standing too long.
You may feel stiffness, swelling, or weakness around the joint, sometimes spreading up the leg. If pain is affecting your stride or balance, it’s time to get it treated.
Common Symptoms
- Pain, stiffness, or swelling around the foot or ankle.
- Discomfort while walking, running, or standing.
- Tenderness or sharp pain in the heel or arch.
- Instability, weakness, or frequent ankle rolling.
- Reduced range of motion or morning stiffness.
What Causes It
Ankle sprain or ligament injury from twisting or missteps
Overuse or repetitive strain from walking or sports
Tendonitis or Achilles strain from overloading
Plantar fasciitis causing heel or arch pain
Flat feet or poor footwear affecting alignment
Post-injury stiffness or imbalance limiting movement
