Outer foot pain while running can disrupt performance and indicate underlying foot issues. Several causes may contribute to this discomfort. Blisters, often caused by friction or ill-fitting shoes, can create surface pain along the foot's outer edge. Bunions, although typically near the big toe, can alter foot mechanics and lead to lateral discomfort. Flat feet may cause instability, placing strain on the outer foot, while high arches can lead to poor shock absorption and excessive pressure on that same area. Another possible cause is Morton’s neuroma, a painful condition involving nerve irritation usually felt in the forefoot but occasionally radiating outward. If you enjoy running and have developed foot pain, it is suggested that you contact a podiatrist who can provide an accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Ankle pain can result from various conditions, with sprains, arthritis, osteoarthritis, and tendinitis being some of the most common causes. A sprained ankle occurs when ligaments are stretched or torn, leading to pain, swelling, and bruising. Arthritis and osteoarthritis cause joint inflammation, resulting in stiffness, swelling, and chronic pain. Osteoarthritis, in particular, wears down cartilage, leading to bone-on-bone friction. Tendinitis occurs when the tendons surrounding the ankle become inflamed, causing pain, swelling, and limited range of motion. The symptoms of ankle pain can vary depending on the cause, but they generally include swelling, tenderness, difficulty moving the ankle, and, in some cases, instability. Activities like walking, running, or standing may become painful or difficult. A podiatrist can diagnose the cause of your ankle pain and recommend treatment, including targeted exercises, medication, orthotics, or, in severe cases, surgery. If you have ankle pain, it is suggested that you schedule an appointment with a podiatrist.
Ankle pain can be caused by a number of problems and may be potentially serious. If you have ankle pain, consult with Glenn Davison, DPM from Advanced Podiatry. Our doctor will assess your condition and provide you with quality foot and ankle treatment.
Ankle pain is any condition that causes pain in the ankle. Due to the fact that the ankle consists of tendons, muscles, bones, and ligaments, ankle pain can come from a number of different conditions.
Causes
The most common causes of ankle pain include:
Symptoms
Symptoms of ankle injury vary based upon the condition. Pain may include general pain and discomfort, swelling, aching, redness, bruising, burning or stabbing sensations, and/or loss of sensation.
Diagnosis
Due to the wide variety of potential causes of ankle pain, podiatrists will utilize a number of different methods to properly diagnose ankle pain. This can include asking for personal and family medical histories and of any recent injuries. Further diagnosis may include sensation tests, a physical examination, and potentially x-rays or other imaging tests.
Treatment
Just as the range of causes varies widely, so do treatments. Some more common treatments are rest, ice packs, keeping pressure off the foot, orthotics and braces, medication for inflammation and pain, and surgery.

Wearing the correct shoe size is essential for maintaining foot health and overall comfort. Shoes that are too tight or too loose can lead to foot conditions that cause pain and discomfort. Neuropathy, which affects nerve function, can be worsened by wearing ill-fitting shoes that create pressure points and reduce circulation. Persistent foot pain may develop due to a lack of proper support, leading to difficulty in walking and standing. Ingrown toenails are a common issue when shoes squeeze the toes, causing the nail to grow into the surrounding skin. Over time, these problems can contribute to a decreased quality of life by limiting mobility and daily activities. If you have foot pain from wearing shoes that do not fit correctly, it is suggested that you consult a podiatrist who can treat various foot conditions and guide you on how to determine your correct shoe size.
Finding a properly-fitting shoe is important in reducing injuries and preventing foot problems. For more information about treatment, contact Glenn Davison, DPM from Advanced Podiatry. Our doctor will treat your foot and ankle needs.
Proper Shoe Fitting
A common concern when it comes to foot health, having properly fitted shoes can help prevent injuries to the foot. Out feet affect our posture and gait, which in turn affects the biomechanics and overall bodily structure. With 33 joints, 26 bones, and over 100 ligaments, the potential for serious injury is much greater than one realizes. Although the feet cease growth in adulthood, they still change shape as they mature. Here are some factors to consider when it comes to investing in proper fitting shoes:
Keeping in mind how shoes fit the biomechanics of your body, properly-fitting shoes are vitally important. Fortunately, it is not difficult to acquire footwear that fits correctly. Be sure to wear shoes that support the overall structure of your body. Do your feet a favor and invest in several pairs of well-fitted shoes today.
