My left foot and ankle is swelled and has been for over a week. The top of my foot is sore to rub. My heel is really sore to touch and walk on. Can plantar fasciitis cause your foot and ankle to swell. I ve made no changes in my eating habits at all. I am limping from the plantar ficiatis.
Hi and welcome. Yes it may be caused by plantar fasciitis. Also, an injury to the foot or ankle can lead to swelling. The most common is a sprained ankle, which occurs when an injury or misstep causes the ligaments that hold the ankle in place to be stretched beyond their normal range. To reduce the swelling from a foot or ankle injury, rest to avoid walking on the injured ankle or foot, use ice packs, wrap the foot or ankle witChatDoctorpression bandage, and elevate the foot on a stool or pillow. If swelling and pain is severe or doesn't improve with home treatment, see your doctor. Wish you good health. Regards
