I've damaged my ankle playing football and 6 weeks on i'm still hobbling about. I had an x-ray the day after it happened which seemed ok,did all the resting stuff,iced it,used ibugel and tried after my doctors advice to apply heat.I have still got swelling on the outer side and a red sore circle on the inside of the ankle.The inside of the ankle by the heel is very sore when pressed and seems to keep giving causing severe pain. The ankle joint turned inwards against the lower part of the foot when injured,has anyone got any advice or idea on what I could possibly have done.Putting on weight as I can't get out to run,getting very fed up.
Hi,I am not a serious runner but having run the 2001 Great North Run I would like to run another race soon.The problem is I develop a soreness around my hip after a vigorous run of about 2 to 3 miles.The same thing happened about 1 year ago but this time it was the other hip that became soor.Has anyone got any ideas what the problem may be
