Just wanted to say thank you for all your help, after having a break and then going on holiday, I thought I would start running again. My ankle surprisingly hurt, so I thought I would put my barefoot runners in the cupboard and bought some with more cushioning.
I tried to run, but it hurt and had no strength it in it. I was booked to do the Stockholm midnattsloppet", if I pulled out, the Mrs would too, so I wasnt going to let that happen, since it cost a fair bit. So loaded with Ibruafen, and heavy strapping, it hurt like hell and the swelling was still there. So I went for a check up, had it x ray'd and it turns out there was a "distal fibula fracture", which really shocked me as I never felt the ankle go over, etc.
Well at least I now know that how I strapped it was correct as it had healed straight, fortunately!
So, will stay away from the forests for at least 6 weeks
My tip and what I learnt, if you ankle is still giving problems after 4 weeks, get it checked out! even if you didnt feel it go over! :duh:
