Foot Injuries
Some examples of foot injuries include:
Achilles Bursitis: Pain at the back of the heels especially when running uphill or on soft surfaces.
Blisters: Redness over the skin, often at the back of the heel, the instep or toes.
Bruised Heel: Repeated pounding of the heel can cause the fat pad to be pushed up the side of the heel leaving less of a protective layer causing heel pain.
Bunions: The ball of the big toe, and the surrounding area may be painful.
Calcaneal Stress Fracture: Heel pain sets in slowly and gradually.
Extensor Tendons: Pain on the top of the foot (dorsal foot pain).
Flexor Tendons: The course of the tendons becomes tender down the inside of the ankle and the sole of the foot.
Metatarsal Fractures: A gradual onset of pain in the foot.
Plantar Fascia Strain: The local area over the plantar fascia (just in front of the heel on the bottom of the foot) will be painful and tender.
Plantar Fasciitis: Pain under the heel and usually on the inside, at the origin of the attachment of the fascia.
Stress Fracture: During activity pain in the forefoot gets worse .
Tarsal Tunnel: Pain radiating into the arch of the foot, heel and sometimes the toes. This is from a pinched nerve in the ankle.
Tibialis Posterior Tendonitis: Pain and swelling around the medial malleolus (bony bit on the inside of the ankle).
