I had that issue! I google diagnosed it as anterior ankle impingement. Basically it hurt any time I under cut something or if when I bend my knees they went too far over my ankles. It would hurt when I landed but after about 30-60 seconds it would be better and I could do another pass. I just iced them after practices and prayed I wouldn't land that way. It started in my right ankle and then started doing it in my left. When it first happened my ankles hurt all the time but as time went on it slowly just went away. They hurt much less frequently now. It first started the summer of 2012 and now it almost never hurts.
Haha! I've been Google diagnosing for the better part of the afternoon. I then came home with some Biofreeze, a fresh bottle of Aleve, some heel lifts for her shoes, and some KT tape. I also looked for PT exercises, so now she's the proud owner of a thera band, too. We'll see if all this junk plus icing after practice works. If not, it's another frequent flyer trip to the orthopedic urgent care. I did find through my research that it's a common issue, so it made me feel a little bit better. I'll let you know how it goes! Thanks!
I've never heard of a Thera band before. I hope it gets better, good luck!! I would do these while watching TV or reading a book.
That has to be incredibly painful. Pelvic injuries are brutal. If you don't mind me asking, how did that happen?
I also think I might have pulled a muscle doing toe touches a few months ago because it hurts to do any stretches with that leg.
