Foot and ankle pain can result from various causes, including injury, overuse, or medical conditions like arthritis. Common sources of discomfort include sprains, fractures, tendonitis, and plantar fasciitis. Symptoms can range from mild discomfort to sharp, persistent pain, swelling, or difficulty walking. Treatment often involves rest, ice, compression, elevation (R.I.C.E.), physical therapy, or in more severe cases, surgery. Proper footwear and regular stretching can help prevent future issues. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
