Why Does My Ankle Hurt When I Run

[phleb]

it goes into a kind of spasm.

[Sqad]

Don't know.

My right ankle hurts. I do a lot of walking and exercise and my Achilles flares up from time to time. Very painful. I rest it and it's ok for a while. ... of course, it always comes back again.! I can either put up with it or never walk /run/exercise again!

[AlwaysConfused]

Everything hurts when I run!

LOL AC xx

Phleb,check your running shoes have adequate support.

Bednobs,see Sqad for lingerie guidance.

I have a similar issue but not whilst running. Does your ankle kind of twitch a lot (not what I'd call a spasm)? I know that the two could technically be classed as the same thing but I've had spams and I've had what I'd call 'twitching'.

Anxiety is one of my problems which seem to relate to my muscles twitching. I don't know whether that has anything to do with your problems. That must be really annoying though...

If Sqad doesn't know then my analogy of your 'symptoms' are probably also going to be incorrect.

*spasms. I don't like spam or spams for that matter.

Bazile: You naughty naughty man. Bednobs never mentioned if it was raining! *tuts*

Are you a regular runner or are you a New Year Revolusionist?

Are you wearing proper running shoes that have been chosen to suit your strike pattern?

Are you in general in a taker of regular exercise?

If the answer is no to the above then your body is simply having a whinge at suddenly being subjected to activity to which it is unfamiliar.

you could borrow one of those racing wheelchairs, that way you get to put your legs up and your arms get all the exercise.

More seriously, I would have your running shoes checked by someone on the know, there may not be enough support or heel padding.

any good sports shop will have a treadmill and observe you running on it. They will then be able to recommend the best running shoe for your gait.

You're not going to get a service like that at Sports Direct, will need to be a specialist running shop.
