What’s up with my ankle?
Ouch! From the location of bruising it looks like you may have injured not only your medial malleolus (inside ankle bone), but also potentially the tendon that runs behind this. I say this because this tendon pain is typically induced with specific motion and if irritated can be symptomatic when you point your toes down and point your foot inward. If this continues an injection, or boot can be helpful in the acute setting to decreased inflammation READ MORE
What to do if your foot hurts after working out?
There can be many causes of foot pain after a workout. The most common causes are typically present as a result of overuse, and/or a significantly increased activity level over a short time span. Stress fractures are a common cause for foot pain and swelling after activity. Symptoms include pain, and swelling after activity. If this pain continues, and more importantly if the pain worsens, please seek medical care. Warmly, Dr. Randall READ MORE
