I’m following my routine exactly, no shortcuts or weird tweaks. I'm positive everything is being done by the book. Even my gear is top-tier—I don't just grab any random sneakers or cleats; I invest in high-quality stuff that comes with extra stability insoles and specialized support for running. So, I really can't say the footwear is the issue here. As for stretching? I'm incredibly thorough about it, focusing specifically on the areas that need it most. Yet, nothing seems to help. And honestly, after eleven years of doing this, you think I'm just going to walk away and switch hobbies? No way. I guess I'll just order some new gear and see how it goes. I know shipping takes forever these days, which is why I reached out here to see if anyone had insights. Some people thought maybe it was my weight, but I’m certain that isn't it.
Man, all this pain started about a year and a half ago, and ever since then, it just flares up whenever I push myself too hard. I’m not entirely sure if it’s because of the surface I'm working on, especially since so many other people doing the same thing don't seem to deal with this at all... and most of my work is just switching out sod or dealing with concrete. I’ve tried rubbing every ointment imaginable on it, but nothing helps. It's still the same. Who knows? My doctor is sending me to see an orthopedist, but honestly, I have a feeling she’s looking in the wrong direction... heh..
Hey there, first time posting here and I was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction...
So, for quite a while now, I've been feeling this really weird pain around both my ankles whenever I push myself too hard...
It wasn't even that bad before. It would usually pop up after maybe thirty minutes of running and then fade away pretty quickly. But lately? Over the last few months, whenever I'm playing soccer, going for a run, or just doing anything intense, the pain hits in less than ten minutes. It gets so sharp that I almost lose sensation around the ankle area. And honestly, once I stop moving, it actually feels worse—I have to keep walking slowly just to get through it. It’s super strange. I've been playing soccer for eleven years and I'm in great shape, so I'm genuinely stumped as to what's going on. I haven't actually gone to see a doctor yet (call it laziness, I guess), so if anyone has dealt with something similar or has any idea what this could be, please let me know...
Thanks 😉
