Understanding Foot and Ankle Pain: Causes, Treatments, and Exercises for Relief
Foot and ankle pain can significantly impact your daily life, limiting mobility and causing discomfort with every step. Whether it's a sharp pain from an injury or a persistent ache that worsens with time, understanding the underlying causes and finding the right treatment is crucial for regaining your comfort and mobility.

Common Causes of Foot and Ankle Pain
Injuries:
Sprains and Strains: Ankle sprains are among the most common injuries, often resulting from twisting or rolling your ankle. Strains, on the other hand, involve overstretching or tearing muscles and tendons.
Fractures: Broken bones in the foot or ankle can cause intense pain and swelling. Fractures often require immediate medical attention.
Achilles Tendonitis: Overuse or sudden stress on the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel bone, can cause inflammation and pain at the back of the ankle.
Arthritis:
Osteoarthritis: This degenerative joint disease wears down the cartilage in the foot and ankle, leading to stiffness, swelling, and pain, especially with age.
Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune condition that can affect multiple joints, including the ankles, causing chronic pain and deformity.
Plantar Fasciitis:
One of the most common causes of heel pain, plantar fasciitis occurs when the fascia connecting your heel bone to your toes becomes inflamed and thickened, often due to overuse or poor footwear.
Bursitis:
Inflammation of the bursae (small sacs of fluid that cushion the bones, tendons, and muscles near the joints) can cause pain in the heel and ankle, often due to repetitive motion or prolonged pressure.

Best Treatments for Ankle Pain
Treating foot and ankle pain requires a comprehensive approach tailored to the specific cause of your discomfort. At Neuron Pain & Spine Clinic, we offer various treatments designed to provide effective relief and promote long-term healing.
Physical Therapy:
Customized physical therapy programs can help strengthen the muscles around the ankle, improve flexibility, and reduce pain. Therapists use targeted exercises to enhance stability and prevent future injuries.
Medication:
Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, can help manage mild to moderate pain. In some cases, your doctor may prescribe stronger medications or anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce swelling.
Orthotics:
Custom orthotic devices, such as shoe inserts or ankle braces, can provide support and alleviate pain by correcting foot and ankle alignment.
Injections:
Corticosteroid injections can reduce inflammation and provide temporary to long-term relief for conditions like arthritis or tendonitis. This treatment is often used when other methods haven’t provided adequate relief. Another therapy called platelet rich plasma (PRP) which is obtained from patients’ own blood is used to treat many heel pain conditions.
Surgical Options:
In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to repair fractures, correct deformities, or replace damaged joints. Our expert surgeons at Neuron Pain & Spine Clinic can discuss the best surgical options based on your specific condition.
Ankle Pain Exercises for Relief
Incorporating exercises into your daily routine can help alleviate foot and ankle pain, improve mobility, and prevent future injuries. Here are some recommended exercises:
Ankle Circles:
Sit or lie down with your leg extended. Slowly rotate your ankle in a circular motion, first clockwise, then counterclockwise. This exercise improves flexibility and strengthens the muscles around the ankle.
Toe Raises:
Stand with your feet flat on the ground. Slowly raise your toes, keeping your heels on the floor. Hold for a few seconds, then lower your toes back down. This exercise strengthens the arch and helps with conditions like plantar fasciitis.
Calf Stretch:
Stand facing a wall with one foot in front of the other. Keep your back leg straight and your heel on the ground while bending your front knee. Hold the stretch for 15-30 seconds and switch legs. This stretch targets the Achilles tendon and calf muscles.
Heel Raises:
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Slowly raise your heels off the ground, balancing on your toes. Hold for a few seconds, then lower your heels. This exercise strengthens the calf muscles and improves ankle stability.

idk having chronic pain with perfectly normal mris and xrays and no other visible signs of injury has made me feel crazy about any other pain i experience. literally got easily injured syndrome and moderate constant pain yet apparently nothing is actually damaged in there beyond a tiny bit of early wear and tear. so now whenever i do think ouch maybe i’m injured, Anywhere on my body, i think nah my brain is inventing pain again and nothing could possibly be wrong. but it still hurts so bad either way lmfao

evilly convinced my girlfriend to massage my ankles (by asking them to) and i have to tell you. that was an outrageously relaxing and pleasant experience. frankly my ankles have no business being tense or sore in the first place unless it's like referred family death tension somehow but god. really recommend having someone who likes you a great deal gently manipulate your ankles for a while

“How is he?” Kell was practically on the verge of tears themself. They didn’t know how Misha could smile and joke while bandaging Finn’s bloodied hand. Even less so since Finn hadn’t squeaked, hadn’t mumbled or so much as looked at anyone since Kell found the boy cutting himself to pieces in the kitchen.
“…I’m not sure. His - his other hand. Never seen anything like it.” Misha’s smile dropped the second he turned away from the lad, still listless and hollowed out where he sat on the floor of the bunk area. The medic had never looked so unsure, so shaken. “The captain - “
“No.” Kell had been adamant when they first flagged down the medic and begged for his discrete assistance. They knew too well Flint’s past to trust him with Finn’s future, not when he was - well, when the boy wasn’t human.
At first glance Kell thoughts it was burns, the bleaching of White Fire or eel spit, the way Finn’s recently sun tanned hands were a shock of white. But the webbing, the curl of blunt, black claws where his chipped and bitten fingernails once resided - that was beyond human injury. Human anatomy.
And Finn had tried to hide it from them.
To the point of cutting it away himself.
“I cannot - I cannot treat him if I don’t know what - what to do about - about this.” Misha splayed his own hand for emphasis, trying to keep his voice quiet as though Finn couldn’t hear them at this proximity. (He probably couldn’t - eyes empty and expression slack.)
“The captain - do not tell the captain about this. You - Finn’s terrified - was terrified we would see whatever this is. The captain won’t… Sweet Marie. We can ask her.”
“You fetch her. I…don’t think he should be alone right now.” Misha said with a nod, turning back to Finn and crouching in front of the shivering child, whispering comforts that fell on unhearing ears.
Kell swallowed their fear and put on a brave face, tossing their locs over their shoulder. Keeping secrets from each other was almost impossible - and strictly against the code. Keeping this secret from the captain… Kell wasn’t sure how long they could do it, but for Finn’s sake, they hoped it was long enough to figure out what to do with him.
Marie was above, scouring the decks with sharp eyes from the helm. Finn was supposed to be learning the wind patterns with her… She caught sight of Kell where they emerged from the hold, the pair locking eyes for a brief moment. She could see that something was wrong, immediately stepping away from her post and descending with them to the bunks.
“What happened?” There was an uncharacteristic anxiety in her husky voice. She noticed that Kell didn’t go straight to Flint.
“It’s - here, Misha.” Kell took a lantern from the wall, the dim light illuminating Finn’s tear stained face and the fresh blood stains on his borrowed shirt. Sweet Marie’s breathing stuttered, a flash of grief and fear across her face as she looked between the boy and Misha, who sat next to him with a protective arm over his shaking shoulders.
“Kell found him in the kitchen. Cut - cut his left hand. Much the way they were the first night.” Misha gingerly held up Finn’s freshly bandaged hand, red already leaking through the bandages. (Kell could almost swear the white blotches around his wrist had faded closer to his natural color in the past few minutes.)
“Finn hurt himself?” Marie’s worry was boiling over to anger - not at the boy, of course. Kell shrank with an apologetic grimace. It had been their duty to keep an eye on him, it was their fault he slipped away -
“He didn’t want us to see this.” Misha continued, gesturing Marie crouch as he tentatively lifted Finn’s other hand.
Kell was right - the blotches had faded, at least from their pure white glow to a more natural if still too-pale hue. But the webbing remained, thick and purposeful between his fingers, black claws shining in the lamplight as Misha splayed the boy’s hand. Sweet Marie inhaled sharply, but the glint in her eyes wasn’t fear or disgust. Curiosity tinged with compassion, the same as that welling in Kell’s heart.
“Flint?”
“Doesn’t know.” They assured her, her face hardening as she nodded. “Do…do you know - ?”
“Nothing I’ve ever seen before.” She muttered, cautiously taking Finn’s hand from Misha, running her fingers over the discolored skin. “Finn, sweetheart, can you look at me?”
He flinched at his name, but didn’t raise his head. For a few grim moments, Kell worried whatever goodwill and rapport the crew had built with the boy had been completely shattered. But, head wobbling on an unsteady neck, he slowly raised his dim, blood shoot eyes to Marie’s face. She gave his hand, inhuman but unharmed, a gentle squeeze.
“We won’t tell the captain. But…do you know why this happened?”
(Did the boy even know what he was?)
Finn’s eyes fled her face, but he nodded, biting the inside of his cheek surely hard enough to draw blood. Kell crouched, hoping their presence added to this circle of safety instead of detracting from it. Finn glanced at them, eyes apologetic.
“Was it the sea water?” They prompted, knowing how rarely Finn spoke even when completely comfortable. The boy’s eyes flashed to them, wide and brimming with tears of fear. Another nod. “Okay. It’s okay, Finn, we just - we’re trying to figure out how to help you.”
The lad’s expression crumbled, a pillar worn away by the tide finally collapsing into the sea. The distinctly inhuman chirp of a whine in Finn’s throat dissolved into a sob, and he let Misha cradle him onto his lap. Kell took a steadying breath and met Marie’s pensive eyes.
Figuring out how to help him was going to be difficult, if they didn’t even know what he was.
