pain in front of ankle?

[teigyr]

odd but I've been going through the same thing. I am also going through orthotics adjustment so we can't figure out what it is. My PT (not Eric but the running one) wants me to chart when it hurts. Going upstairs/downstairs is bad and the flats on the bike is bad. It's only one foot and it's my dominate one.

The PT did say my ankle was tight and she did a lot of moving it around. It hurt to the touch only in certain spots and it sometimes hurt when she moved it but not all the time. Anyway today (the day after) it feels much better. It will be interesting to see if it's the bike or if it was the orthotics. She changed the orthotics a bit.

I guess that isn't much help. Chart it though like where it hurts and what you were doing when it hurt, that way the PT can narrow it down unless it's something obvious.

Does it hurt for you to lift your toes or walk on your heels? What about going up and down (like doing calf raises)?

You could try to massage your tibialis anterior muscle (the one on the front of the calf that flexes when you raise your toes). If the tendons at the bottom of the extensor tendons are strained, sometimes you can alleviate that by loosening up the muscle.

hey sorry i didn't update this thread.

I went to EriK Moen and got all adjusted to my new bike. I haven't had that pain but i haven't done more than 20 miles yet...
this weekend will be a good test.
