It is sounding like you might have some biomechanical problems. Normal people with good mechanics just don't have the cycle of pain you're having. So it sounds to me like your mechanics are bad (thus leading to injury) or your body is built a bit off from normal (making you injury prone).

Physical therapists, sports medicine docs and podiatrists can all be helpful if you're trying to track down what's wrong. If there's a structural problem (like the bone deformities in my feet), there are treatments available. If it's mechanical, they can help you learn better ways to move to prevent injury.
