Heel pain, ankle sprains and sports injuries of the ankle are among the most common. Finding the actual cause needs an in-person examination.
No. Many foot and ankle conditions are treated without surgery, with rest, activity changes and physiotherapy. Surgery is considered only when these measures are not enough or the injury is severe.
See a doctor if the pain is severe or lasting, or comes with clear swelling or difficulty standing on the foot. Do not wait if the shape of the foot changes or you feel numbness.
