Hi, I'm pretty desperate for advice, I'll try to keep this as brief as I can.
Been out of any kind of workout scheme for well over three years now, I had a difficult pregnancy, subsequent birth, and fairly bumpy first year as a mum, only this year have things been going much better.
I had some trainers fitted at a specialist store some years ago, and first I checked they were still suitable - yep. Also still a forefoot runner. Good to go!
All was going ok until the first day of week 2, one week ago today. My ankles felt sharp pain, just under the ankle bone on both feet. It got worse so I went home, did some stretches and rested.
Well, I've been back to the running shop, and the docs. I've tried stretches, massage, and trigger point therapy with a roller. Both ankles are still so sore to even walk in and my knees are starting to hurt too and I'm not doing anything.
Luckily I'm off work this week with my husband and son, but I'm really upset that in one week I've made no move towards lessening the pain, no amount of ice or rest is helping.
Dr is stumped. Specialty running retailer is stumped. My marathon runner friend is stumped.
Please help.
