Right foot pain below the ankle
by Travis
When the pain comes it is very strong and burns. It's like someone is sitting next to my foot with a lighter. It isn't constant. If I turn my foot a certain way that's when it happens. Nervous about a torn tendon. It starts about middle of the foot and comes back about 2 inches. Hi Travis, A torn tendon or ligament would certainly be a consideration as to the pain you are experiencing. Depending where the pain is actually occurring there is also the possibility of a nerve entrapment which could also cause burning. Because you are in pain and because the issue of either a partially torn tendon or ruptured ligament are the source of your pain, you would be very wise to see a foot specialist as soon as possible, one to get a precise diagnosis and two to get proper treatment so that the condition does not worsen.
