Alright, once again I'm going to post about this completely EFFED up right ankle o'mine. Yesterday: 2 mins into run on the flat, excruciating stabbing pain anteriorly. NO radiation. Got home, stretched achilles, stretched tibialis. Did a little rotary deal at the same time while foot dorsum was braced and felt a "pop" with some relief.
So then I jumped rope. OK at first and then pain returned (yes, I am an idiot sometimes). It's completely triggered by dorsiflexion.
It seems like it's in the general vicinity of the talofibular ligament, but I have no history of injury. Plain films were unremarkable--I have an MRI that should be scheduled soon (I ordered it today. Gotta love military medicine when you're a provider within it).
So, my questions--could this just be a really persistent tendinopathy? What about little osteophytes rolling around in there? I am so frigging frustrated. Keep in mind, I have to run as part of my job duties, so this is a problem...
Oh yeah, and occasionally it happens to a lesser degree on the left as well. I've changed shoes and all that jazz--I'm a big time supinator (more on the right) if that matters.
Thanks in advance.
