When doing calf stretch type exercises, downward dog yoga position for example, when I try to put my heel down to the floor, I get a zinging pain right behind the outside ankle bone. There is no shooting pain to anywhere else, it's just localized there. And if I rub the spot, it feels numb. Is this part of the achilles? Should I refrain from exercise, ice it....???? I exercise fairly regularly...yoga once a week, circuit training 2-3 times a week, walk (wearing shape up shoes), or jog once or twice a week. Not at all overweight. Have issues with tight IT band on that side, and am currently having some hip pain and groin strain on that same side of the body.
