My ankle hurts when i run.?

Question

I'm in my high school track team. My right ankle started hurting when I was running a 350 breakdown at track practice like around February 20th. Could this be a sprain? I've been using these patches my mom uses for her back when she has back pains on it. It's gotten a bit better; my ankle doesn't hurt when I walk anymore although I sometimes buckle a bit. However, it slightly hurts when i rotate it right (it hurts VERY very little.) But when I run, there is a more pain, especially when I push off with it. Is this a sprain or is it something more severe?

Also, I've used 10 lb ankle weights ( 5 pounds per leg ) like in January/early February but I stopped using them cause I was lazy. could this be the cause?

And are ankle weights bad for you? =[

[I don't run with the ankle weights, I walk with them during school and take them off before practice.]

Answer 1

I still run cross country running...you might've strained something...there are several bones in your foot and they can take strains from impacts...you need to stress this to your coach or parents to let them know there's something wrong here....get them to get it checked out...or it could lead on to something you don't want to jeopardize your sport with in the future....good luck and always remember to stretch before and after the workouts, take a good long soak is the hot tub....helps a great deal!

Answer 2

I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.

So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.

Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.

A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.

Heal your ankle fully & fast?
