What Causes Recurring Pain At The Top Of The Malleolar Zone?
Question: I have a pain in the area connecting my foot to my leg, on the top. It comes and goes, but is aggravated when I do a lot of walking. I think it is a tendon. When it is acting up, i can hardly walk because putting pressure on that foot or bending it up toward my leg (as one does when walking) is so painful. What can i do to prevent this?
Brief Answer:
It can be due to weak bones or foot shape
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case. Pain in foot and leg can be due to either weak bones or foot arches. Before I advised you anything I would like to know little detail of the illness.
1.Since when you are having this pain?
2.Do you have pain at rest also?
3.did you recently changed your foot wears? Do you have flat feet?
Please send me answers of these questions. I will try my best to help you.
thanks

This pain started about 6 months ago at work while i was walking fast and pushing a cart that is semi heavy. The pain stops when i rest, i havent changed footwear recently, and do not have flat feet. I do, however, have brittle bones. My parents were told when i was born that i did, and since then i have broken several bones very easily. I didnt know this could be related
