Ankle pain can be caused by various factors, including sprains, fractures, arthritis, plantar fasciitis, stress fractures, nerve disorders, muscle or tendon inflammation, gouty arthritis, tarsal tunnel syndrome, lactic acid buildup, foot structural abnormalities, and wearing improper footwear. In addition, prolonged walking, running, or similar activities may also lead to ankle pain.
If ankle pain persists or is accompanied by symptoms such as swelling, redness, warmth, or limited mobility, prompt medical attention is advised.
