Questions for walkers/runners

GTChick01 · 04-25-2002, 06:01 PM

I've been walking/jogging 4 miles 3 times a week for about 3 weeks now. The last time I walked my ankles swelled up. It hasn't happened before and I think it might be from my new shoes. Anyone else ever experience this problem? It's been two days now and they are STILL swollen!!!

are you pregnant?

OMG!!!

No, I'm not, but that's what everyone up here at work keeps asking me! lol.

You're joking right??

How do you run ? I mean do you step softly or hard ? like slamming your foot down everytime you step. This could cause it !

It kinda sounds like you don't have good circulation around your feet !

I think I do jog hard, plus I jog on concrete. I'm going to try jogging in the grass next time and taking softer steps. Hopefully they won't swell up like that again.

Yes I was joking, just ice them down. I have broken both of my ankles a couple of times, yes a couple of times. Is it a sore pain or a sharp pain? If it is a sharp pain you could have some stress fractures from running if you haven't run in a while. Ice, Ice ,Ice for like 15minutes at a time. If not call Dr. Dillian He has worked on my ankle, when it was broken bad, 3 knee surgeries for my mom and one for my brother..he is really good. Let me know if you want the number his office is in Fort Worth.
