pain in front of ankle?

[KnottedYet]

Did the liner of your shoe bunch up or a lace shift so it's pressing on a tendon?

[mimitabby]

no, it's definitely not the shoe. no rubbing. no pinching. it feels like it's inside

[mimitabby]

had to take Advil before I could sleep.

did I mention it doesn't hurt when i'm going uphill, only on the flats.

Might want to run this by your doc or his/her nurse. Or call Eric.

[mimitabby]

Yeah, I sense Erik will be involved. I hate to do too much more to this bike, since I'm getting a new one in a short time. I hope it's muscular, and not tendons. I'm afraid there aren't many muscles in there.

I'll send Erik an email. thanks for the suggestion

Well friend, The weakness, and pain in your foot could both be cause by a nerve root problem. "Sharp pain" is usually a sign of a nerve being compresses/irritated the outside part of your foot is the S1 nerve. this nerve also controls the Peroneous Longus and Brevis on the outside of the foot they control your foot moving to the outside. Also if you have problems walking on your toes because of the weakness this is also a sign of an S1 nerve problem. I recommend seeing a chiropractor for this as they have the most experience with nerve root problems because they deal with the spine.

Barita, thanks. Tomorrow i go to the PT guy. I have no pain when I walk on my toes.


but thanks for piping in and welcome to TE!
