What Causes Painful Tendons On The Ankle?
I have been having pain in the ball of my foot for over a month now. I now have a burning in the front tendon that is in my ankle, running up the front of my foot. It is usually better in the mornings but gets to where it is painful to walk by the evening, and even before that. I had an x-Ray and no fractures were found. Any ideas of what it might be and how I can get it to feel better? I am a runner and it is hard to rest my foot and just wait.
