Hi, just started today! And completed first run! In 2013 I broke and dislocated my leg/ankle on my right foot - does anyone have any tips to keep me going and the pain away?

Congratulations on starting.

Hard luck on the outcome.

Few of us are medically qualified on the forum and it is our practice to recommend that you get professional medical advice for your situation. Whether this is your GP, a physio or podiatrist is up to you, but you should not run in pain.

I hope you can get sorted soon. Keep us posted.
