Ankle Problems

[MBuzzy]

I have recently started to have some ankle problems. It seems that when I stand in certain stances, sometimes my ankle seem to lock up. I get a sharp pain that does not go away, even after I move it. I can move my ankle, but when I do, it hurts tremendously.

I have been stretching my ankles as much as I can before practice, but the problem is still happening.

Has anyone had any similar experiences, or have any tips to stop this from happening? I has happened in the middle of some forms and is becoming a problem! Thanks!

It might be a tendon or a ligament. Do you ever have any problems with your arch on that foot? Sometimes that can cause pain in the ankle. Even possible there is a stress fracture or something like that there. I'd really suggest seeing a podiatrist.

Or an orthopedic / sports medicine practitioner.

You should get this checked out.

Once you're cleared for exercise, you might want to meet with a physical therapist for ideas on how to strengthen your ankle. We had a thread about that recently. http://www.martialtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35907
