Ankle pain from walking



Recommended Posts

Hat are done excersizes that I could do when I hurt my ankle while just walking? I had it X-ray and it wasn't broken. But it won't stop hurting when I put any kind of pressure on it. I've been doing the bicycle and weight lifting but I was wondering if there were other options other than that and swimming.

I know that you asked for stuff besides swimming. If you do have access to a pool, you could walk in the pool, which would put a lot less force on your ankle.

I encourage you to take it very easy on your ankle since you feel pain in it. Also if you have access to a gym, most cardio machines put far less stress on your joints than walking would. Something like a concept 2 rowing machine would be great because you don't have to support your body weight on your feet while you are doing the exercise.

You need to go see an orthopedic surgeon that specializes in ankles! You might have what I have...PTTD. And it only gets worse if it is not treated. Stay off the treadmill. That was hard for me because I loved walking. If you have questions private message me. Get this checked out!

Hope you feel better,

Nicky

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
