What Is Foot & Ankle Pain?
The foot and ankle work together to support your body, absorb impact and help you move comfortably throughout the day. Because they are involved in almost every movement you make, they can sometimes become irritated, strained or injured.
For some people, symptoms develop after a specific injury such as a sprain. For others, pain gradually develops over time due to changes in activity, repetitive movements or increased demands on the body.
Foot and ankle pain can affect people of all ages and activity levels and may make everyday tasks, exercise and hobbies more difficult.

- Sports injuries
