Pain to the inside of the ankle and foot can be caused by posterior tibial tendinitis. This is frequently seen in patients with flat feet. The posterior tibial tendon helps to support the arch and maintain arch height. Over time, this tendon develops inflammation when there is increased stress to the arch.
Houston Texans running back Arian Foster suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in the Texan’s 44-26 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
