Foot and ankle pain can affect walking, standing, exercise, work duties, and daily movement. Since the feet and ankles support body weight throughout the day, strain in these areas may create difficulty with mobility and balance. Symptoms can begin suddenly after an injury or develop gradually from repetitive movement and physical activity.
