Our treadmill's belt has been broken and I had twins a little over a year ago so needless to say, exercise has been minimal. Well we finally just got the belt replaced and me, in all my eagerness to jumpstart my New Years Resolution of losing the pregnancy weight got going right away.
I know I probably should have started slow and worked my way up but I didn't think I did too much too soon, but apparently I did? Last night I started with a speed of about 3.5 - 4 and had it inclined to a 4 or 5 I think. I was only on it for maybe 5 minutes before I had to do something for the kids. I didn't trip or lose my footing, nothing.
About fifteen minutes later my left ankle started to hurt whether it was elevated or being walked on. Just sitting makes it ache; walking hurts and I actually have to walk with a limp. My husband says the ankle appears slightly swollen. Its just as painful today. If I bend my foot inwards (towards my right leg) it flares up in pain. What did I do??
