ankle injury

[shelley]

hi there, ive been exercising for about 5 weeks now, jogging a lot but have had to take a week off as last week during one of runs the inisde of ankle started to hurt. It has eased off a bit now around actual ankle but it is the small bone (ithink its called the medial melloleous or something) is where the pain seems to be radiating from. does anyone know what this could be and what has caused it?

many thanks.

Could be the running style, or could be something that might be connected to Shin Splints.

Maybe it's been caused by the footwear becoming a bit too worn out, not being right for you, or the type of ground you were running on.

I had first spained ankle in '06. But recently i have pulled 3 tendons, torn 2 legaments, and spained 4 times in one week. docter says to take motrin but i did that for a week and it just got worse. I wore a splint for 1 day and i couldnt move ankle for 6 hrs after i took it off. diet has plenty of veggies and friutes, i eat good portians of protien and i was told by coach i ran in perfect form. It would be great if i could get some hints or tips on how to help it.
