Why Is My Ankle So Sore and Painful?

Ankle pain is one of the most common reasons patients seek the expertise of a podiatrist. Your feet and ankles are hardworking structures that support the entire weight of your body, absorbing shock with each step. But despite their strength and resilience, the complex network of bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscles can become injured or inflamed. Understanding the cause of your ankle pain is the first step in effective treatment and recovery.
