The
most obvious symptoms of trouble are foot pain or dysfunction (limping,
favoring one foot or the other, inability to put weight on the heel
and/or the toes). Foot pain can be due to ill-fitting, inappropriate
footwear that cramps your feet; injuries that keep you from walking
well--or at all; sprains which stretch or tear ligaments (which connect
bones); and stress fractures of bones in the foot, which can result
from accidents or overuse while engaging in sports or exercise. Just as
foot disorders may originate elsewhere in the body, problems
experienced in the feet can cause difficulties in other parts of the
body.
