Massive pain above Anke - Right leg

[realsteel786]

Hi guys,


started running over a month ago - and been following a tough workout schedule as well. For a while area above my ankle (left side) of the right leg used to hurt when I would run.


but for a past week, it's been hurting ALOT! I cannot walk properly because it hurts when I put pressure on the leg. what should I do? I trained so much for an upcoming 5K race which is this sunday


please any advise is highly appreciated.


p.s Im 6'1, 190 lbs and used to run 5K or so.

Thanks!

Given that it hurts to walk, I think you should sit this one out. If you really need to run this race, forgo any running until race day.

Check your shoes - make sure you're wearing fresh running shoes. The EVA foam in the midsole wears out over time and puts a lot of stress on the joints when it does. If you're into minimalist shoe running, make sure that your stride is correct.

Try foam rolling and trigger point therapy to help with your current ankle issues.
