Anyone have this?
"Anterior ankle pain is located between the ankle bones on the front side of the ankle. The pain is caused by the Talus pinching against the Tibia"
"Symptoms include pain with any activity that forces the foot into dorsiflexion (toes toward shin), which includes landings and calf stretches. It usually begins with soreness but can progress to significant pain, swelling and loss of function."
http://usagym.org/pages/home/publications/technique/2008/10/30_ankle.pdfI've been dealing with this for years, getting worse and worse since last year... It never bothers me if I'm not skating and over the winter I figured the shit was gone, but as soon as I got a lick of the nice weather and landed funny playing a game of skate, it happens all over again and is weak as shit for weeks. I can't jump off nothing or try unfamiliar tricks without the fear of this pain.
Anyone have any experience with this, that can provide some advice as to what I should do? According to the article above for gymnasts' the best thing to do is some ankle exercises/therapy to strengthen the ankle, however, I feel that the demand that skating has on my ankles this will only be somewhat helpful and not provide me with the confidence I need to backside flip the massifers.
