Thanks!</p> <p>@evansjamie: I've felt like this from boots before but I wasn't super active before so I'm thinking it just made it feel worse this time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ankle-stiffness#post-611397 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 13:22:53 +0000 avivoca 611397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It might be the boots. I've had foot/ankle problems from wearing certain shoes a lot, or even wearing new shoes and walking in them a lot the first day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ankle-stiffness#post-611388 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 13:20:17 +0000 blackbird 611388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My ankles hurt when I run long distances. It turns out that my arches are flattening out and it's putting too much strain on those muscles. I'm not supposed to run more than 5 miles anymore because of it. </p> <p>DH also has major ankle pain and it's due to some ligament damage and erosion that's gone on over time. </p> <p>At the very least, i'd stretch them out really good. My podiatrist told me to write the alphabet with my foot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ankle-stiffness#post-611358 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 13:08:57 +0000 BelugaBean 611358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am going to ask a nurse that I know this question too and I'm probably going to go to a doctor if it isn't better in a few days but I figured I'd ask everyone here too.</p> <p>I just started exercising a few weeks ago. I've been doing C25K three days a week and the 30 Day Shred anywhere from 3-5 days a week. This weekend we went to visit family so I ended up not exercising on Saturday and Sunday. </p> <p>When we got home Sunday (and a little before), I noticed that my ankles felt really stiff. When I tried to climb the stairs at our house, it hurt. This way yesterday and it still takes some effort to get up the stairs and back down. I tried to exercise this morning and I couldn't run but ended up doing the 30 Day Shred in hopes that it would stretch out my ankle muscles. </p> <p>It is painful too. DH thinks it's because I didn't do the same amount of activity the past two days and I'm wondering if it has anything to do with wearing boots almost all weekend when I hardly ever do. Does anyone have any ideas? Dr. Google keeps telling me arthritis which I'm fairly sure isn't right. </p>
