What Causes Sharp Stinging Pain In Between The Heel And Ankle?
My right foot, near the heel between the ankle bone and rear of foot gets a sharp stinging pain while my heel is on the ground and I lift the front of my foot up and gently rock back slightly on my heel. The pain was not constant until today (been bothersome for about a week) now have a feeling in foot like a numbness not painful though. No swelling, no discoloration, no recent trauma.
