What's causing my foot pain. ? plantar fasciitis has been ruled out also arthritis x-rays show loss of cartilage in front of the ankle bone

Need more info: Loss of cartilage in front of the ankle bone may in itself be arthritic in the sense that it will limit range of motion here. This can cause pain elsewhere in the foot due to compensation and overuse. Seems like you need some more diagnostics.

See below: You have not told us exactly where on your foot the pain is. Based on your x-ray, that sounds consistent with osteoarthritis.

Many things: Loss of cartilage could mean an osteochondral defect of the ankle bone (talus), but it's confusing as to the location of your foot pain? Can you give more specifics as to what makes your pain worse, better, location, type of pain (shooting, stabbing, throbbing, electric current, etc). Thanks!

Sounds: Like a possible osteochondral defect will show up on mri.
