What Causes A Feel Of Stretching Across The Stomach Area?

I have sort of a rubber band type feeling around my right ankle, not all the way around, very localized in the achilles area. No pain, swelling or discoloration, just a very annoying sensation. Only when walking or putting pressure on the toe area, and only when walking barefoot or in sandals. Don't feel the sensation in a supportive tennis shoe. I was diagnosed a few years back with a Morton's neuroma. Could this cause a numbness or rubber band type sensation in the back of the heel? I suspect also that I have plantar fascitis but not so severe that I've ever been diagnosed with it. Thanks for your thoughts. Age 50, 5 feet tall, 150 lbs. No medical history of importance.

Well come to HCM
Thank for asking
I really appreciate your concern, the given symptoms could be due to some inflammation and it might not be sever but it seems to be mild form of inflammation, it is the arthritic changes, I would suggest to try NSAID and the best molecule is Diclofenac 50 mg once in day, you need to take care while walking wrong gate could be the reason for that if the symptom remains as it is then x-ray is advisable, with orthopedic opinion hope this information helps.
