About 6 weeks ago I was doing some reconfiguring of the garden involving a fair bit of spade work. At one point I slid into the trench I was digging and twisted my left ankle. Acute pain immediately on the outside of the ankle just below the ankle bone where the peronous longus runs around the ankle bone.
No swelling, no bruising. That is still a little painful depending how I land on it etc.
The odd thing is that I've also started having some TOFP around the same time. Not sure if they are linked or not, but it's not like any other pain I've had before.
I don't notice it at all while running or worrking out, or when just sitting, but as soon as I get up and put my foot down, there it is for about 5-10 mins, same on waking.
Not sure if it's just a recurrence of some tendonitis or something else? I would have thought if it was a stress frac I'd feel it all the time while walking or running?
