wcn1970 239 Posted April 22, 2013 I don't know what I did but both ankles are swollen and sore and my left shin muscle closest to my foot is super tender. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarahboy13 49 Posted April 22, 2013 are you running? I would give yourself a break for a few days and make sure your sodium intake is down. Try lots of Water today to see if you can "flush" your system. If not I would get to a doctor, doesn't sound right. Good Luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lissa 2,631 Posted April 22, 2013 Give yourself a few days' break until you're healed up. It sounds like maybe you're pushing too hard. Alternate heat and ice for the tender muscle and elevate your feet for the swelling. I injured a rib a couple of weeks ago and still can't figure out how I did it, so I understand the mystery injury thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nicolanz 1,484 Posted April 22, 2013 You may need new shoes. I had the same problem from walking/jogging. I went to a store called Fleet Feet and the sized me and watched me walk to tell me exactly what I need. I haven't had a shin splint or ankle problems since. 1 rosehips reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
