Since I did so well the past 2 days of running, I'm going to try to sneak in just 1 more before going back to the Dr. tomorrow morning. I'm going to try for a 4 mile run on the, UGHHHH treadmill. I don't feel confident enough in my ankle to run out in the streets. Just picture it...
I'm 2 miles from home, wearing my vibrams and I have to stop running. I'm going to look like some sort of purple-footed hitch hiking freak!!!! No spanks!!!!
IR: My ankle feels better when I run, but I haven't tried to push too hard. When I press on the tendon/bone/area thing -- it still hurts to the touch. Hopefully its more of a deep bruise and I can run through it.
*If you think you know whats wrong with me I'm taking guesses!!! If I ever find out and you guessed right, you get a prize!!!*
Clue #1: The pain is coming from the inside of my right ankle.
Clue #2: The pain hurt most when I would kick back in my stride (running only, not walking), as well as when I walked up the stairs
Clue #3: There are 2 "hot spots" of pain... the first is on the inside, top of the heel-- if you are looking at your foot, its right to the left of where the achilles meets the heel bone-- there is some sort of tendon or ligament there. The other spot is just above the ankle bone, again on the inside, with about 2 inches of an area that is in pain. I can't tell if its actually on the small leg bone or on a tendon/muscle/w.e that runs along the bone.
Good luck!!!
I think you have ankleitis... it means you have umm ankles...and sometimes they hurt... yup I'm a very good doctor, so let me know if you need any more information about this. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL at Amanda's comment!
ReplyDeleteI hope the run goes well and good luck at the doc tomorrow!
Official diagnosis is IRAP. Definition is Inside Right Ankle Pain. Duh, you need a doctor to tell you that?! OK, I guess you DO need a doctor's diagnosis. Hope I at least made you smile. Good luck with your appt.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to guess, because for your sake, I want it to be nothing. Injuries are not fun and I hope that you can figure this out. When I was having my achilles problem, what really helped was ice baths twice a day, it really helped reduce the inflammation in the tendon, not sure if you tried that yet, I am not a fan of medicine so I was trying my best to find other solutions.
ReplyDeleteI dont no!.
ReplyDeleteYou can try rest, ore go to the doctor.

ReplyDeleteI am not going to guess and put any negativity out there. I am praying for a "all you need is a little rest" diagnosis!
