What Causes Pain In The Heel And Ankle?
I wake up with a dull aching pain in my heel which comes and goes during the day but mostly when I get up int he morning, has been going on for a week or so. I also am having a warm sensation in the same foot on the outside of my ankle, feels like someone pouring warm water on my ankle, any ideas? Just had an osteopathic manipulation on my middle back which I ve had done off an on for years.

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to tendinitis.
I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the symptoms.
I also suggest using cold compresses and Voltaren gel for local application.
I recommend gentle stretching exercises.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
