As I’ve written about at length recently, I did the Manchester 10K yesterday. Somewhere along the line, I did something to my ankle. At the time it felt like cramp, but after sitting down for ten minutes after the race I could barely walk on it.

It’s not swollen so presumably not sprained. It’s difficult to pin down exactly where it’s sore, but it seems to hurt a bit if I load weight on the ball of my foot behind my big toe, and hurt a lot more when I release that load. The pain seems to be around my ankle joint (the sticky-outy bone bit) and sort of underneath it, along the top / side of my foot, in line with my big toe but further back.

Anyone got any insights? GP tomorrow?

IANOD, my diagnosis is metatarsal stress fracture, no bending it like Beckham for you for a few weeks. 😉

No doubt, the secret foot fetishists would be interested to see a picture 😉

no swelling anywhere on the foot ?

fiver on tendonitis – guessing your shoes were too tight

IANAD nor AR

Loose connection?

Potentially to the shin bone or the foot bone?

Hear de word of de Lord!

IME – Unless your doctor is the young sporty kind, the advice will be rest it and take some painkillers.

Go straight to physio if you can afford a private appt.

Any cats around?

metatarsal stress fracture

Yikes. A quick Google would suggest that this would be pain at the front of the foot though, mine is at the back.

Rest, ice, elevate and take ibuprofen

Another guess for tendonitis, another prescription for ibuprofen. And please, no pics.

IANAGS but I think Perchy may have it

Gout?
IamAD, but not the kind you need.

I think Perchy may have it

I’ve thought that for a while TBH.

I did have it.

Now, I’ve lost it. Big time.

Sounds like flexor hallucis longus tendon. Common injury in ballet dancers apparently 😉

I think Perchy may have it

Has he been biting people again?

Have you tried switching if off and on again?

Oooh ooh! I know this one.

It’ll be under the fridge, along with my kite.

the sticky-outy bone bit

On the inside or outside?

Sounds like flexor hallucis longus tendon. 

I thought this, or tibialis posterior, but neither travel aling the top of the foot
