• Ankle Tendonitis.
• Sore Ankles After Running.
• Broken Ankle Recovery Time.
• Broken Ankle or Sprained Ankle?

• 2) Sinus Tarsi Syndrome:

This is pain just below and in front of the outside ankle bone:

• This is more of an aching and burning pain that gets worse after standing for a long time.
• This pain occurs because the outside of the foot compresses against the outside ankle bone.
• When the foot gets fatigued, the muscles tire and the foot continues to turn out and grind against the ankle bones.

• 3) Peroneus Longus Tendonitis:

• The peroneus longus tendon could lead to back across the back of the ankle and side of the foot.
• This muscle is responsible for pushoff with the foot and ankle stabilization.
• It can commonly be irritated in running.

• 4) Peroneus Brevis Tendonitis:

• The peroneus brevis tendon could lead to back across the back of the ankle and side of the foot.
• This muscle is responsible for push off with the foot and ankle stabilization.
• This is the muscle that you use for turning the foot out.
• It can commonly be irritated in running.

• 4) Pinky Toe Pain:

• Pain in the pinky toes can be caused by numerous factors.
• It can be caused most commonly by compression inside the shoe or a sprain or even a hammertoe.

A)5th Toe Numbness, burning or tingling:

• This most common after standing, walking or running.
• This is usually associated due to compression of the 5th metatarsal against the shoe.
• Consider wearing a larger shoe in the front.

B) 5th Toe Callus, Bump Or Corn:

• Calluses or corns can really cause pain!

C)Pinky Toe Sprain:

• It is also very possible to sprain or injure your pinky toe.
• It you jammed it very hard, consider a sprain!

D)Bunionette:

At the front of the foot you can develop a bunion at the outside of the foot by the base of the toes.

• The pain can be relieved with 5th toe bunion padding & shoe accommodation.
• But in the end only surgery will permanently correct the deformity.
