Common foot and ankle symptoms

A sprain or broken bone in the foot or ankle can quickly hinders daily activities. Tendonitis, plantar fasciitis and Achilles heel, for example, are painful, debilitating and often chronic. A first step in knowing when to seek treatment is to understand some common symptoms and what they might indicate.

• Pain or discomfort in the heel, arch, top of foot, toes, or around the ankle joint.
• Swelling around the foot or ankle that may worsen after activity.
• Stiffness or reduced range of motion in the ankle or foot joints.
• Tenderness over a specific area (e.g., heel with plantar fasciitis).
• Difficulty bearing weight or walking due to pain or instability.
• Numbness, tingling, or burning sensations in the foot or ankle.
• Redness and warmth, often indicating inflammation.
• Noticeable deformities or abnormal movement (e.g., joint misalignment, bumps).
