having some mild swelling and tenderness along the ligaments or tendon that run underneath the ankle bone.
anyone know what this about, how to treat it?
foam roll calves? stretch calves? anti inflammations?
I doubt its stress fracture, but could it be?
Sounds like it could be tendonitis, although you didn't give much of a description. Does it hurt all the time, just when running, flexing the foot etc.?
I would suggest icing it, as well as using some anti-inflammatory cream or sorts. I've had similar symptoms on the outside of my foot. It should go away after a few weeks, and obviously best to rest it.
Foam roll inside and outside calf, and do every calf stretch you can think of a few times a day, as well as icing. It might be from muscle knots in calf, so get it loosened up. After a few days if swelling goes down, I'd roll on the actual tendons with a tennis ball to loosen it up.
Disclaimer, I'm not a physio or anything, but this is what I've done for tendonitis in the past. It might be a stress fracture or something, see what other people say because my advice might be completely unapplicable.
Rest is the main thing though, good luck!
Feels tight and the discomfort comes and goes but seems really tight.
Tendons seem tender. I don't have to poke to hard to hit the spot. They also feel rigid or bumpy.
My foot just seems to collapse in. Can't get it a straight line.
If it feels bumpy is could definitely be tendonitis. If your ankle rolls inwards, it could be tightness on the outside of the leg, so all the stuff I just recommended should help.
It could also be weak hips/glutes, so your knee falls in when you run. Can you do a one-legged without your knee falling inwards? If not, work on hip/glute strengthening exercises (claim shells, that bridge one, one-legged squats etc)
Makes sense. How bout ankle brace and aleve to help with inflammation ?
Posterior tib?
