What Could Be The Reason For Severe Pain In Left Foot With Swelling In Ankle And Top Of Foot ?
I have had severe pain in my left foot and haven't been able to walk on it for 6 or so months! I have to walk on my tip toes to get around. Especially when I first get up in the morning and after sitting. My ankle and the top of my foot is swollen and bruises when on it too much. X-rays showed nothing but something has to be wrong. Can you help?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The severe pain in the foot and swelling of the ankle is likely to be due to inflammation of the ankle joint. Since the X-ray is normal, it is likely to be due to a soft tissue pathology.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
