Tarsal tunnel syndrome occurs when the posterior tibial nerve, which runs along the inside of the ankle and foot, becomes compressed and damaged, causing inflammation.
Tarsal tunnel syndrome is similar to carpal tunnel syndrome, which occurs in the wrist.
Calcaneal apophysitis (Sever's disease) is the most common cause of heel pain in young athletes. It is a painful inflammation of the heel's calcaneal apophysis growth plate, believed to be caused by repetitive microtrauma from the pull of the Achilles tendon on the apophysis.
Peroneal tendon dislocation causes pain on the outside of the ankle. This occurs when the normal position of the tendon is disturbed for some reason. It is usually the result of overuse.
A bruised heel is an injury to the heel bone because the fat pad is not sufficiently protecting the heel bone. You can get a bruised heel from the repeated force of your foot striking the ground, like if you run or jump a lot. ... A bruised heel can take one to three weeks to heal. Continued injury may result in the formation of a heel spur.
A heel spur is a calcium deposit causing a bony protrusion on the underside of the heel bone.
