Hi all I am wondering if anyone has had this happen. When I run I get like pressure built up above my nobby bone on the outside of my ankle about 2 inches. When I stop sometimes I feel like a rip or tear in that area. It isn't debilitating but a concern.  I can't figure out what is going on, or if I should just go a see a Dr.

What do you mean you feel a rip or tear?

Sounds like peroneal maybe, but can't say for sure...

The feeling is really hard to explain, it is like no other I have felt before. It almost feels like blood is being trapped in a part of my high ankle, and when it finally finds a way through I can feel it happening. I would think if this were the case I would have swelling or even more pain.

 

I should probably just go see a doc. but I dont even know which type to go see.

Set up a consult with an orthopod that speciallizes in sports.  Ideally, someone good at lower extremities.  I haven't ever had someone mention those specific symptoms but the only thing that pops to mind is something like a precursor to compartment syndrome.  I would get it checked out just in case.
