Why is there pain on the outside edge of my foot?
-
I have a recurring pain that runs along the outer edge (lateral side) of my foot, extending from the area near the ankle bone down the side toward the little toe. The discomfort is a persistent ache that gets worse when I stand for long periods, or when I try to move in a way that puts weight on that side of the foot. I switched my footwear and tried different supports, but the pain is still there. I'm trying to figure out common reasons for this type of foot pain, which might include stuff like peroneal tendonitis, cuboid syndrome, or just stress from how I walk.
If you had this pain on the outside of your foot, what was the exact cause you were told you had, and what actually worked to fix that specific pain?
