So for the last couple of days I have been having this pain around and just above the big bone on the inside of my ankle. when I run it hurts for the first 5min and gradually gets better. But when I have finished it gets really painful and hurts to walk. Anyone know what this is and what I can do about it?
Thanks
You probably have posterior tibial tendonitis. This can be a nasty injury unless you take enough time off to let it heal. If you don't take time off to let it heal, it will only get worse.

PTT very nearly ended my career, twice. Don't play with it.
took today off and it is feeling better. still hurts a bit to do calf raises. do you think i can try and run tomorrow? it is hard to convince myself to take time off when it hurts mostly after running and not during!

No. If you don't feel 99.9% during any non-running activity, you probably shouldn't run. You do NOT want to toy with this.
See a masseuse, a physio, or a chiro. Someone who can manually stimulate the calf (particularly the PT).
Definitely go see somebody. Don't run until you see a sports medicine doc or a PT, trust us.
