What Causes Severe Pain In Right Bottom Foot And Around Ankles?
No injury woke up 2 days ago with severe pain to right foot on the bottom of foot and around the ankle some swelling. I have had 2 previous back surgeries for L4/L5 S1 nerve. Cannot put weight on it I have been ice heat and staying off of it. It is not showing any signs of getting better. It is the weekend trying to wait to see a doctor on Monday.

Hi this kind of pain, in my opinion , is due to a condition called plantar fascitis. I suggest you take pain killers , hot fomentation , local application of analgesic cream for 10 days.Use only very soft footwear. If there is no improvement in 10 days , consult your orthopedic surgeon.
