    Ankle pain is a common symptom that occurs at a young age after repeated traumatic effects on the area of the ankle joint. In older people, pain in the ankle area can be triggered by degenerative changes in the ankle and knee joints. Such pathologies lead to the destruction of the cartilage layer, then osteoarthritis develops and the bone tissue is deformed. The nature of painful sensations is also present in the foot area – this is the lowest part of the limb. It is a combined group of bones that perform a supporting function. Foot pain can be a sign of various diseases, provoked by both physical exertion and traumatic injuries.

    Causes of leg pain

    The most common causes of leg pain are:

    • Venous insufficiency – is a consequence of varicose veins. There are pains in the legs, which usually appear in the evening after a long stay in an upright position.

    • Arterial insufficiency – develops due to atherosclerosis of the vessels of the lower extremities. This condition is formed due to the fact that you do not control blood pressure well, which leads to the risk of getting hypercholesterolemia, and this also applies to those who often abuse bad habits.

    • Polyneuropathy is a pathology that causes excruciating pain in the legs. This is a violation of the peripheral nerves. The clinical picture is characterized by various symptoms – pain in the legs at rest, reduction of calves, a feeling of shivering, tingling, perhaps a feeling of discomfort when touching the skin.

    •  Osteochondrosis – pain in the legs can occur due to osteochondrosis of the lumbar and sacral spine. Tingling sensations spread from the back of the thigh to the front and side of the lower leg and the back of the foot.

    • Joint diseases are the most common disease, which is deforming osteoarthritis. Unpleasant sensations occur in this case with the simplest and most everyday movements.

    Shin pain

    Foot and Ankle pain

    The cause of shin pain can be: 

    • lower leg injuries. As a result of the injury, both soft tissues and bones of the lower leg can be damaged. 

    • diseases of the lower leg bones. Osteochondropathy of tibial tuberosity. The disease occurs mainly in people who are actively engaged in sports, in particular running.

    • diseases of the muscles. Pain in calf muscles is commonly associated with their inflammation that is observed in various pathological conditions (delayed onset muscle soreness, cramps)

    • vascular disease of the tibia. When blood vessels are damaged, the blood supply is disrupted, which causes severe ischemic pain that occurs when there is insufficient oxygen supply to the tissues.

    • diseases of the spine. Damage to the spinal column in the lumbosacral region can lead to compression of the spinal nerves, which will cause pain in different areas of the leg.

    • infectious disease. Infection of the skin, soft tissues or bones of the lower leg is also the cause of pain in this area (boils, osteomyelitis).

    • tumors of the lower leg. At the initial stages of development, the tumor does not manifest itself in any way, because it does not contain nerve endings. Clinical symptoms, including shin painoccur in the later stages of the disease, when there is damage to the surrounding tissues. Therefore, the treatment of shin pain, if you have it, is a priority.

    Foot injuries

    • Dislocations. Violation of the normal position of the joint and bones-fibular, tibial and talus. In this case, the foot injuries are accompanied by partial damage or complete rupture of ligaments. It is recommended to immediately contact a doctor for foot and ankle treatment, otherwise the pain will become even stronger.
    • Fractures. Damage to the bones forming it, due to mechanical action or pressure. As a rule, the damage force is greater than that which the bones of the foot could withstand without damage.
    • Stretchings. Closed violation of the integrity of the ligamentous apparatus caused by exposure to high loads that exceed the physical norm. Foot and ankle treatment pain during stretching is carried out under the supervision of the attending physician.
