Chronic exertional compartment syndrome is one of the most common causes of pain, numbness, and foot drop, most often seen in runners.
Disorders of the Hip, Knee, Ankle and Foot
The causes of hip, knee, ankle and foot pain are varied. Sprains, strains and tears can arise from injuries sustained during sports or everyday activities. Arthritis and simple “wear and tear” can make daily routines such as walking up stairs or bending over to tie your shoes difficult and painful.
