What Causes Sharp Pain In The Ankle While Walking?
I have sharp pain in my ankle when walking normally. No swelling or bruising no injury or trauma. I m a runner and it started gradually during a long run on the inside of my left lower leg just at and above the boney part of my ankle. I don t have any restrictive movements or pain when not bearing weight. Trying to decide if I should just rest or go to have an x-ray.
