I have pain in my ankle, there is no swelling, shoes not hurt to touch and only hurts when I walk/run. Pain first thing is worse. How long do i refrain from running? Ican't stand the thought of not being able to run but obviously want things to heal. Had this happened to anyone else?

Go get it checked out by GP or sports physio.. and don't run on it..until you know what is happening.

We don't run through any form of pain... and the runs will still be there:) x

Thank you for your advice. I have carried on work as I'm not sick but walking gets painful as the day wears on. I will make GP appointment.

Thanks for the advice. I rested for 2 weeks and it did the trick! I graduated tonight. Feeling chuffed!
