why do my ankles feel like something is pulling after i have been to gym
by Angelique
i recently started gym and am doing circuit training, i find that after my 30 minute training session my ankles are really sore, on the inside of my ankles it feels like something is pulling, even just walking is difficult and going up and down the stair is almost impossible. Please if you have any idea what could be wrong, please let me know. Hi Angelique, You do not mention your age or weight so I will guess that you are relatively young. The most common cause of ankle pain, without any history of trauma would be from a poor alignment of the foot relative to the ankle. This might occur if your are extremely flat footed for example. On the other hand if you happen to have a high arched foot, your ankle pain may be due to poor shock absorption which happens in high arched feet that have limited motion. Both situations are the result of structural deformities meaning, the way you are built. The best advice I can give you is to see a foot specialist in your area and have a complete evaluation. You might find an orthotic is all you need to better balance your feet to the ground and thus create better ankle alignment and relieve your pain. Marc Mitnick DPM DISCLAIMER:
