I'm 36 and would say I'm fairly active I enjoy walking and going to the gym but I've never had problems with sore ankles/feet
All my jobs I've had have required me to be on my feet. 1st job was door to door sales was out from mid morning till late evening walking about getting people to sign up to charities so was always on my feet then got a job in a factory and before I fell pregnant you had to stand for long periods in front of your production line I eventually got a seat when i got further on in my pregnancy.
Once I had my DD after a few years I got a cleaning job in the evening as yes you guessed on my feet did that for 13 years now back into cleaning but at a much heavy pace (hospital offices) so theres pressure to do everything and now starting to notice my ankle on right leg is sore and pain even goes into my foot at the top I do limp at times with it too.
Also I've noticed same leg and its happend twice since being here the only way I can describe it is if something has popped/cracked in the tendon behind ankle and I've got to sit down as cant stand on it and twist my ankle in a circle and it feels as of it pops back in it's a weird one then leg foot ankle is sore after.
Is this just wear and tear cause of being on my feet for all these years and maybe time to think about changing job
Have made a appointment with doc Wednesday though

Foot pain? Could it be from years being on my feet for work?
