What Causes Constant Pain In The Foot And Ankles?
I have constant pain in my left foot, on the outer left side between my toes and my ankle. Compared to my right foot, looking at it, it looks a little swollen, although there is no redness. Even when I go to bed to sleep for the night, the pain is always there, even laying down. What could it be?
