    Understanding ankle pain

    Ankle pain can happen for many reasons, including injury, arthritis and typical wear and tear. The ankle performs a number of functions, helping you move your feet. Because there are so many bones, ligaments, tendons and muscles involved in the ankle region, it’s easy for pain to occur.

    You may experience ankle soreness, stiffness, sudden pain or inflammation. This can come from a sprain, a fracture, tendonitis, an infection and many other causes.
