Subject: Inside ankle pain help
Hi all... I've only recently started running and I've noticed funny pain on the inside of my right ankle for a few days. It didn't start hurting while running, it was sometime later. Pushing on the bony knob to about 2" directly above it is painful. When I start walking or running in the morning it's actively painful but goes away in a few minutes, although pushing on the spots still hurts a bit. I thought I'd be able to identify the offending tendon by looking at a pic of foot anatomy / researching but I'm lost. All the photos of posterior tibial tendon stress seem to be behind the bony knob on the ankle, closer to the heel. My arch, top of foot, Achilles, front and back of leg don't hurt at all. I got shin splints years ago but those were right on the front of my shin. I tried hopping on the foot and I'm able to do that easily (whew). * ETA I also tried the dorsiflexing in the BT article about soleus pain and I can do that just fine.

Health insurance for feet issues stinks in BC and I won't have the $ to see a podiatrist for about 6 weeks. Anyone have any tips for me? My shoes are pretty new so I may be able to talk to the Running Room and work something out if changing shoes is my best bet.

In the fall I was running on some trails and rolled my ankle pretty bad. I took a few weeks off from running and let it heal. Every so often, my ankle feels swollen, or off.

When I swim I struggle to get a full breath and consequently run down faster. I spend part of my training on the side of the pool gasping for air.

Ankle Pain During Stretching - Member Case Study

The only time it hurt is when I stretched my left calf. I guess, "flexing" the ankle the way you do when stretching your calf is what was hurting it. The place it hurt is just fore of the ankle bone.
