Pain on inside of lower leg - just above ankle joint

guest — Tue, 04 Sep 2012 11:39:35 GMT

Is this a high ankle sprain? No brusing or swelling, just shooting pain when I put weight on it for first few minutes. Seems better after it warms up.

I am 300lbs and just did my first 2 mile run on the C25K program. No pain in ankle during run, but noticed a little about a mile into cool-down run. Did not really hurt until next day.

Any thoughts or advice?

Jenni,

We all start somewhere. I had been walking 2-3 at a time before starting C25K at the beginning of the month. I never would have been able to do this without a lot of walking before I started. It strengthened muscles and opened up some joints.

Chubbs,

Great to hear your story. I am in the same boat you were, except I am 10 years older and a couple of inches taller. I started walking, dieting in April/May at 333.5# and started C25K 3 weeks ago on week 3 at 313#. I have had bad knees for years so I am trying to listen to my body. I have 12 weeks until a thanksgiving 5K, so I have plenty of time for repeating. Last week, I only ran twice, instead of 3 times.
