Dealing with knee and ankle niggles

After a week break due to a fall I did run 1 week 5 - I feel frustrated in that my stamina is fine but my ankle and knee do not want to play ball!! I wore a knee brace which helped but my ankle puffed up and so my foot felt tight running - any tips to resolve?

A visit to the doctor first maybe needed then take more rest for your ankle as it's swollen again after running. Hope you get it sorted 😊
