ankle problems?
Posted: Mon Jun 03, 2013 5:31 pm
anyone else experiencing bad left ankle pain around the front/outside of their left ankle?? i have normal arches and everything and i wear running shoes specially fitted to my feet, yet the past two weeks i've had really bad ankle pain!
ive been researching it a lot (not saying that WebMD is a credible source), but ive come to the conclusion that it's anterior ankle impingement. which is basically where the soft tissues of the ankle (tendons/ligaments) rub against scar tissue from previous sprains (as in my case) or little growths called bone spurs... it's pretty much just an overuse injury from repetitive jumping/running...
i have a bad problem at being under at takeoff which i think contributes to the injury!
if anyone else has had problems like this just let me know what you did for treatment and more importantly prevention! cause this injury sucks and i dont want it to come back.. i've been icing a lot and using Thera-Bands to strengthen the joint. any other pointers would help!!
