Pain and swelling with a normal X-ray most commonly point to soft-tissue causes such as ankle ligament strain, tendon inflammation (peroneal or posterior tibial tendon), or joint synovitis, which do not show clearly on plain X-rays the marked area along the outer foot also raises concern for lateral foot tendon overload or early stress reaction, especially if you walk a lot or wear tight footwear since medicines alone have not helped the next useful step would be ankleâfoot support, activity modification, and further evaluation with an MRI or ultrasound to assess ligaments and tendons. Persistent swelling beyond a few weeks despite treatment should not be ignored, but this does not currently look like a bone injury.
