Mysterious ankle pain and swelling?

Question

Hi. I think I did something to my ankle yesterday but I'm not sure what. I have been running from 1 and a half to 2 miles every other day for like 2 months. I was running yesterday and around the 3rd turn around the track my ankle just started hurting. Didn't twist it or anything just started hurting. Then I looked at it today and it's swollen behind my right ankle bone. What the heck? I definently wasn't straining myself so I caan't figure this out. I finally just got back into running 2 months ago after being out for a few years, so I don't want to lose any progress I've made. What can I do in meantime to keep endurance and strength that I've got?

Answer 1

actually this happened to me a few days ago.The doctor took x-rays and they were fine so he took a blood test to see if i had an infection,can happen at any time anywhere but that was fine so he sent me home and the next day i got a bad bruise so we figured out what that was.I think you should go see a doctor if you aren't too sure, might be an infection.Ice your ankle and wrap it, that should help.Good Luck!
