Well, my first "injury" of the year has arrived. I have this pain in my foot/ankle region right where my foot bends on the top at the ankle. All across there it hurts. It has bothered me a little bit before, but nothing that lasted for more than a couple hours, but on Sunday it acted up enough that made me cut my run short last night.
DR.’s RESPONSE: Ankle pain on the top of the foot could be an indication of more serious problems. Ankle pain is normally perceived on the inside or outside of our ankles. However, pain in the front of the ankle is more difficult to diagnose. Because the foot primarily dorsiflexes at the ankle, I would suspect that the pain probably occurs when the ankle bends, allowing the foot to move upward. I would recommend that you make an appointment with a podiatrist, a physician who is specifically trained to deal with diseases and conditions relating to the foot, ankle, and lower leg. That physician will probably take x-rays and perform a thorough physical exam which should enable them to conclude a specific diagnosis for you.
