You might need to see your GP. I had something similar, & it turned out to be bursitis, meaning I had to stop running til it healed. All fine after a few weeks, but it would have only gotten worse if I hadn't rested it.

Good luck xx

A GP visit may be the best option. Hope you get it sorted :-)

Shin splints gave me a slightly swollen ankle, and I iced that. If it is noticeably swollen, it may well be worse. get it checked.

Speaking as a Podiatrist, you should get it checked out by a professional. Also, don't know if you did, but always worth having your trainers fitted by experienced sports shop with treadmill. You may have sprained some tendons/ ligaments and it will take some time of rest (both passive and active). So see a pro before it gets worse. Www.feetforlife.org will show your nearest Podiatrist. Hope this helps. Get better soon. X
