A member asked:

What kind of ankle/foot injuries can be from walking too much?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Overuse injuries: Overuse injuries of the foot and ankle include plantar fasciitis, postior tibial tendonitis and metatarsalgia. Repetitive motion and strain can cause these conditions to occur. Mechanical defects may contribute to this as well.
