Common Causes of Foot and Ankle Pain
Foot and ankle pain can result from various conditions, including:
- Osteoarthritis: Wear-and-tear damage to the cartilage in the foot or ankle joint, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness.
- Rheumatoid arthritis: An autoimmune condition that causes inflammation in the foot and ankle joints, leading to pain and deformity.
- Bursitis: Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs (bursae) around the foot and ankle, leading to pain, particularly with movement.
- Tendinitis: Inflammation of the tendons in the foot or ankle, often caused by repetitive stress, overuse, or injury.
- Bone fractures or injuries: Damage to the bones of the foot or ankle, often from falls, accidents, or trauma, causing pain, swelling, and limited movement.
- Torn ligament or sprain: Damage to the ligaments in the foot or ankle, such as with a sprained ankle, causing pain and instability.
- Plantar Fasciitis: Inflammation of the thick band of tissue on the bottom of the foot (plantar fascia), causing heel pain, especially in the morning.
- Achilles Tendonitis: Inflammation of the Achilles tendon, often caused by overuse or sudden activity, leading to pain in the back of the ankle.
- Flat Feet (Pes Planus): When the arches of the feet collapse, leading to pain, fatigue, and instability.
- Excess body weight: Added pressure on the foot and ankle joints, increasing wear and tear and causing pain.
- Overuse or repetitive motions: Continuous strain from activities like running, walking, or standing for long periods, leading to pain or injury.
- Weak muscles around the foot and ankle: Insufficient muscle strength can lead to instability, pain, and an increased risk of injury.
- Referred pain: Pain originating from another area, such as the knees, hips, or lower back, but felt in the foot or ankle
