I own an ankle injury?
I'm a cross country runner and have been training during the summer to acquire ready for the upcoming season. Last week, my ankle started hurting like it be bruised. At first I was running through it because it wasn't that bad so it be okay. Then, I had a weekend to let it rest. It be getting better & going away so I ran on it the following week. The first few days be okay but then starting yesterday, I actually feel the ankle pain throughout the run. I'm running usually seven miles a day, sometimes eight. I don't know what is wrong next to my ankle.. I don't know if it's a sprain/strain.. The ankle is NOT swollen.. it's not red either. It's an inner ankle injury. I feel spasm when I'm putting pressure on it. Well, I run hills.. and have to run up curbs (on the street) so I get up them. Maybe too much of the jumping. I feel it when I'm almost to take off...when my foot hits the ground and it have to lift back up. i don't know how to describe it.
So.. what is this ankle injury? Is it a sprain?
right immediately, i'm using R.I.C.E. ... well mostly just rest and rime. i don't use much compression.. and elevation sometimes at night. It feels okay to way of walking on the ankle but was a little stiff today. I'm giving it three more days of rest.
Answer: Whatever it is, if you hold running on it, it will more than likely get worse. Got to an MD. Get it fixed presently before you need surgery. .
Go to any a bone doctor or a physiotherapist.
What's happening to you sounds similar to what I've got going on. It might be OCD (Osteochondritis Dissecans) of the talus. I don't comparatively remember what my symptoms were when I first developed it, but I've had it for roughly eight years immediately, and I've not yet had it dance away.
The cartilage lining of the anklebone can be bruised when a sprain of the ankle occurs. As the anklebone (the talus) twists inside its box-like housing, the farthest point of the talus rubs up and hits the end of the tibia. This causes a bruise and lead to softening of the cartilage. It may lead to a small crack in the cartilage and a cyst forming within the talus bone. This we refer to as an osteochondral injury of the talus.
That's what the website says. For me right now, it's a spasm just like have it bruised on my anklebone, and I jump a lot (goalie contained by soccer) so this is where I developed it from. It also affects me when I'm climbing stairs, running, etc., and what I do to treat it is ice it for fifteen minutes (always put the rime pack or whatever you're using in a towel or something, so it's not direct) and exit the ice off for fifteen, consequently ice on, ice bad.. you get the picture.
My physiotherapist gave me excercises to do, such as using a opposite board and (if it's round) going around for twenty counts clockwise, twenty counterclockwise, or standing flat on your feet, then going up on your tippy toes or the front of your foot as high as you can, then going as far support on your heel as you can, and repeating. Another easier and more practical excercise is just when you're sitting around or something, to keep your leg stationary (but bad the ground) and turn your ankle/foot outwards (if the injury feels on the outside) or the opposite if it's on the inside, for around two minutes or so.
Bottom line: get it checked out. Hope I've help!
