my right ankle hurts since a couple of weeks due to running/jogging--I think because my sport shoes were getting a little old. I bought a new pair, but haven't used them yet, because my ankle still hurts. I have had this some years ago too and went to a kinesist to massage the painful area. Should I see one again or is it ok to let it heal on it's own?
You probably just sprained something or pulled something in your ankle... but you should use the RICE method to let it heal... R= rest I= ice C= compression and E= elevation. Take a few days off from running/jogging and rest it. Ice it for 20 minutes every few hours and elevate it while icing. To compress it you can use an ace wrap or an ankle brace... once you get back into running/jogging you might want to keep the ace wrap or ankle brace on. Take pain meds. like Ibuprofen (Motrin) for pain and swelling. If it still hurts in a couple of days call your doctor to get it checked out. I hope this helps and I hope your ankle feels better.
