Foot pain is something that many people experience more often than not during their lifetime. It is a health condition caused by a number of factors such as an injury or properly fitting shoes.
Improperly fitting shoes is something that most people force themselves to endure, failing to understand that a simple act like putting on the right shoes can alleviate irritation on the ankle, heel, toes, ligaments, joints, and skin.
On the other hand, some forms of foot pain can indicate a more serious underlying medical condition that requires attention, including;
Ankle Pain
The ankle joint is the point at which the leg bones connect with the foot. This joint is responsible for the foot’s up and down movement. In most cases, people refer to the ankle as the ankle joint and encompasses the joint and the surrounding region. Some ankle pain signs include bruising, redness, instability, stiffness, burning pain, and inability to support your weight using the affected ankle.
Swollen Feet
A swollen foot [or ankle] can be caused by localized extremities, such as injuries, sprains, and infections. One can also have a painful, swollen foot because of systemic conditions—these are health conditions that affect the entire body, including the foot. Some of these medical conditions include heart disease, liver failure [edema], and osteoarthritis.
Heel Pain
Several factors can cause pain in the heel, but the common cause is abnormalities of the nerves, skin, and blood vessels. Since a lot of force is exerted on the lower extremity when a person is walking or running, the heal is always prone to trauma, resulting in blisters and corns. It can also be caused by Plantar fasciitis, which is characterized by a sharp pain on the heel when standing up after a restful while.

Wow, I never knew that certain other conditions can stem from having swollen feet. The fact that even liver failure and heart disease can have this as a symptom is extremely scary since my right foot has become quite irregularly-sized lately and I don’t even know how that happened. With that said, I’ll look for a podiatrist in the area that can get me some assistance with this just in case it’s something very serious.
