Hello doc! I'd like to ask about some ankle pain I have. I developed it after I ran a Marathon last year. It comes and goes, and I haven't figured out how to keep it away.
Its pain on the outside of my left ankle, sometimes behind my ankle, sometimes in front. It get worse with activity. It hurts to bear weight on it, and hurts to pronate my foot inward.
I have flat feet and my feet pronate inwards when standing. I also have big toes bent inwards. I run landing midfoot. I didn't have any ankle problems the 5 months prior to the Marathon, during my training. It started when I hit the 30K in my training schedule.
After the Marathon I wanted to keep up half marathon runs every weekend, I loved those. It felt like the sweet spot. But now with this pain I do 5k once a month at best. Its very sad
I'm doing ankle strengthening exercises in the form of balance exercises. What else can I do? Any idea whats wrong? And what is a likely cause?
