Foot and ankle pain is a common issue due to the complexity of this body region, which comprises 26 bones, 33 joints, and various soft tissues. The majority of pain in these areas is temporary, often resulting from soft tissue injuries such as sprains or strains. While these injuries typically heal gradually, some cases may take months to fully recover. However, if the pain persists, worsens, or does not improve after a few months, it may indicate more serious issues. Long-term foot or ankle pain could be caused by factors such as wearing ill-fitting footwear, osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis, or connective tissue diseases. Additionally, poor blood circulation or nerve damage may cause foot pain. In these instances, it is suggested that you schedule an appointment with a podiatrist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
