Just inflamation on the tendon near the ankle caused by rubbing of the shoes on the tendon or over training, quite a few things can cause it. ****s you up for a short time but easily sorted I think. I am going to the GP later to see what he say's. I have seen it a few times during my football coaching and usually something like the ibuprofen gel rubbed on it can sort it out. After that a cortisone injection can be used but I doubt it will come to that.
I hope it's that easy for you! I've got tendonitis in both knees, and it's only after a few months of physio, rehab exercises and insoles to sort my alignment out that i'm getting anywhere near full fitness!
Yep. I know it can get really bad. Very painful too especially in the knees. Alignment is a ****er to sort out too. I had a very dodgy knee as a kid that stopped me from playing football. It was the reason I became a a coach. Never be quite the same and I still can not do running in training which is a ****er. I am hoping my right ankle is not ****ed because due to my left knee I put extra pressure on there. I have been trying to treat it for awhile with ibuprofen but a GP apointment is definetly needed.
Something similar to tennis elbow in my left, er, elbow years ago. Doctor suggested an operation could cure it, I decided to 'retire' instead. Still feel sometimes like I've got a load of gravel in there when I straighten my arm.
