Can Plantar Fasciitis Cause Swelling And Soreness In The Left Ankle?
My left foot and ankle is swelled and has been for over a week. The top of my foot is sore to rub. My heel is really sore to touch and walk on. Can plantar fasciitis cause your foot and ankle to swell. I ve made no changes in my eating habits at all. I am limping from the plantar ficiatis.
Yes it may be caused by plantar fascitis. ALso, an injury to the foot or ankle can lead to swelling. The most common is a sprained ankle, which occurs when an injury or misstep causes the ligaments that hold the ankle in place to be stretched beyond their normal range. To reduce the swelling from a foot or ankle injury, rest to avoid walking on the injured ankle or foot, use ice packs, wrap the foot or ankle with compression bandage, and elevate the foot on a stool or pillow. If swelling and pain is severe or doesn't improve with home treatment, see your doctor.
Wish you good health. Regards
