REPLIED

Most likely it is not related. It could be a pinched nerve in your ankle or the top of your foot though. Are your shoes real tight? This is the most common cause. If you can try to tie them looser for a few weeks it may help. Also, taking motrin or advil, icing the area and elevating your foot when you can.
