    What's wrong with my ankle?

    I twatted it a bit last year, and it's still causing me problems now.

    It's not a conventional sprainy thing, going over on one side.

    There is no swelling, but it tends to hurt when I extend my foot all the way forward and down (imagine a ballet dancer) or when I bring it the front end all the way up (imagine you are stretching your calf).

    When actually running, this tends to manifest itself when I stand on something lumpy with the front of my foot when going uphill, so that my heel goes down and my toes go up. It hurts like buggery for a few strides, and then wears off.

    The pain is in the front of the ankle, inside the joint iyswim.

    Any ideas? I went to the NHS physio, and she reckoned that a) 30 miles a week was Too Much for anyone's legs to cope with and b) my silly old fell shoes need Much More Cushioning.

    Help...

    If Gaz sees this thread I am sure he will give you a quick diagnosis. I have had the same problem for about 9 months, when I hyper extend my foot forwards as you describe. Not sure if there is anything you can do but there are lots of experts on this forum who know beter than me. The solution to everything seems to be doing strange stretching excercises whilst balanced on your tiptoes on the bottom step.

    Mud, get some one to have alook at it who knows what they are on about, otherwise google proprioception and plyometric exercises. Good luck

    onwards and upwards
