124 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 So, does anyone here know about ankle injuries at all? Its not that serious, but it may start to become somewhat serious. Over the past few weeks the outside part of my left foot, right below the ankle, has been killing me, more so when I stand obviously. Is it just being on it too much? (Working 30-35 hours standing at a register / walking around a store) or is something else possibly? Like I said, I can deal with it, but it does continue to get worse.

Im not a doctor and I wont try to diagnose you but from my injury experiences if it keeps getting worse you probably injured it and the constant pressure on it is agrivating it...You should probably get it checked out.

BUM-KNEE Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Gout? is it swollen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 Gout? is it swollen? Doesn't appear to be bigger than the other. Its right below the ball of the ankle. I can see my veins more in that foot than the other, does that help? Maybe it is gout but I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be starting though, if youre on your feet alot. That is if your older than say 45........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is if your older than say 45........ the only thing he is close to 45 is his blood alcohol level. buddy of mine got the gout when he was just 33. you probably should get it looked at Joe, gout is a painful thing bro, nothing a 8 am tailgate won't cure for a day, but still painful. go to a doctor...call me if you need directions!

Youre good to go on the gout then. usually happens to older people who are on their feet alot throughout their lives (nurses). Or after an injury or surgery. Uric acid builds up and attacks the joint--very painfull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Gringo Loco Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Tendinitis maybe? I've had this in my heels before, pain in the butt. Since there is no swelling, I would recommend soaking your foot in hot water and epson salt, this always worked for me. I have had many ankle injuries, when I started using the epson salt after the swelling went down, I would heal alot faster, takes the pain away too.

joewilly Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 124, "grab yer ankles" is just a figure of speech the mods use a lot around here. in the future, just kinda hold on to the top of you're shoes. works for me anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what I was gonna say, it could depend on your shoes. Basketball shoes are pretty comfortable and protect the ankle, fwiw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
