  • Calling all wannabe Doctors and Physios:

    Got a sudden pain on the outside of my ankle / heel whenever putting weight on it whilst out on a longish run yesterday. Had been out riding the day before and noticed my hamstring on that leg was feeling really tight, and was feeling quite tight before I went for the run on Sunday too.

    My ankle/heel now fecking kills whenever I put weight on it. Any ideas what this may be? I'd had a fairly heavy week of running and riding before it happened, so am hoping it's just needing a few days off.

    It doesn't have the feel of tendinitis or something, and i'm also thinking this as it came on so suddenly.... Any (sensible) suggestions welcome. Ta

  • Rest it.
    You've either got some tendonitis, a bit of ligament strain, strained a muscle, or most likely you've bruised it by landing awkwardly.
    Give it a week off and get a tennis ball to stretch your foot out.
    Test it out carefully next week.
    NB. IANAD, I have not examined the foot, and I'm literally just guessing.

  • Yep, am resting up. I hate resting!

    Thought you were a doc (or a training one)? Or did I make that up in my mind?
