Shamelessly posting here for traffic but still not brave enough for the traffic on AIBU...
My ankle hurts! Going to try and give as much info as I can as dr google has been useless.
It's the inner side on my right foot, right on the ankle near to the bone that sticks out.
It doesn't hurt all the time and I can walk normally on it.
There's no tenderness, redness, bruising or swelling.
Every now and then I get a sharp pain that normally lasts a second or two and until today and yesterday didn't linger. (It only lingers if I don't rest I think?) If it does linger it's not for long, a few minutes.
I have full range of movement.
The pain happens as my foot leaves the floor iyswim. So it doesn't hurt to stand, doesn't hurt to even put full weight on it standing on only that leg, but as I lift my foot to move I get this searing sharp pain. I also noticed it hurt as I was standing and lifted it for a few seconds and was leaning to get something, my good foot was on the floor and bad foot in the air. I think my toes were in a kind of splayed position.
I've had a recent change of footwear, it might be relevant...the shoes I've been wearing are those stacked trainer type things so it's like a flatform trainer. But it's worse today in standard flat shoes, barefoot or slippers.
Is it a ligament or something? But that's a sprain and I don't think it fits sprain symptoms?
I'm bemused and in occasional annoying pain! It doesn't seem a&e worthy as it's not very severe and not constant.
Anyone got any ideas?!
