    Hello, I’ve battled with ankle injuries for the past 8 years. I am a career athlete. I’ve rolled my ankles many times over the years. Every dr has told me the same thing, which was to stretch or take this pain killer, which did nothing. About a two months ago I sourced out a foot dr and he diagnosed my ankle pain as STS. After watching your video the years of pain started to make sense. Thank you for make this video it was insanely helpful. My question to you is about five years ago An MRI showed I had torn ligaments slight arthritis and bone fragments floating around in both ankle, do you think surgery is the better option. I did my first injection three weeks ago. It helped lower the constant pain, but the everyday 24/7 pain is still there. Any advice you could give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again.

After a full year of on again off again pain and whining to my MD he sent me to a Podiatrist after looking at my ankle talking to me about my pain and x-rays he determined I have Sinus Tarsi. I was put on weeks dose of prednisone which raised my blood sugar and helped a bit. The pain eventually went away but is now showing it’s ugly face again.

    Thank you for giving such a thorough explanation. Can this cause numbness in the toes and a tight feeling on the top of the foot? I sprained my ankle horribly many years ago and have always had a tight, scar tissue type feeling in the sinus tarsi area ever since. Months back I was going around in very flat shoes which I now regret, my toes started to get numb and the outside of my ankle is often swollen and stiff now. Today before I saw this video I decided to walk a lot hoping to fix the numbness but it got worse and my ankle feels extra stiff now on the outer side.

    My daughter is busy with athletics. Little bit of uneven grass and cramping in foot while running in race but also overall inward of one ankle caused severe pain on outside. Busy with fisio and all exercises you mentioned and taping. She is struggling with that sharp pain. For now doing exercises. Too calm down do we use heat or cold, and she is only 12. Do we possibly take injection. Really want to avoid invasive. After few days better and starting to run on tartan now. Feel like we maybe did that stretch against wall and not helping. Will definitely remember to focus on glutes. If so focused on injury we forget other muscles I realised last week.. Which could help her because she trained consistently for last 2 years and has goals which she is struggling with now. Now swelling or blue now.

The podiatrist gave me a cortisone injection (not with ultrasound), told me to wear more stable footwear and showed me how to do the achilles tendon stretch you advised not to do. The injection is providing some relief. The footwear (Hokas) has been really helpful but the stretch has caused severe leg cramps at night and daytime muscle pain in the entire leg. What exercises are best?

    Its been about two years since a doctor performed an arthroscopy on my right ankle to remove a tiny bone spur which he thought was the only thing that could be causing the impingement. 2 years later I probably have the most muscular lower leg of anybody ever with no improvement in pain. I think you may have saved me. My only question is whether it is likely that he cleaned put the subtalar joint as well since the surgery was on the supratalar joint. (The bone spur was on the tibia).

I haven't walked normally this whole time as I can't "push off" with my feet so I hobble around flat-footed. 5 doctors can't seem to figure out why this is happening - never sprained my ankles. 7 mos of PT and now daily exercises haven't helped, nor do orthotics. Pain is HORRENDOUS - literally this thing is trying to break me! I guess arthroscopy is next. I've heard rumors about ligament replacement and bone fusion but this terrifies me! Can anyone provide any hope?

    Thank you for this. I have severe flat foot and have had multiple ankle sprains from soccer and basketball. The most recent was 5 months ago (ankle roll) that never fully healed- i felt pain every time i moved ankle sideways, more so on the outside. Two months of physio and shockwave therapy didn't help. 5 sessions of Acupuncture helped significantly and till this day i have not felt the pain, though can feel the ankle is unstable. Finally got the results of MRI today that revealed it could potentially be sinus tarsi syndrome. Could you please recommend some self therapy exercises that i can try at home to stabilize and strengthen the ankle? like i said the pain is gone but i am worried an abrupt movement would bring me back to square one.

    I had the top of my foot ran over directly in the middle. Had a bit of bruising and pain after it happened but that was it. It's now been 2 years since it has happened and now my big toe is very tender and hurts a lot, especially at night. It seems like it's stuck flexing upwards a little bit and i can't bend it at all. I've been doing a lot of research and I'm thinking it is checkrein deformity possibly. It seems to me that it's the big tendon on top of my foot that hurts, the one that runs into the big toe, because it's stuck bending my big toe upwards. I can't put any weight on it either it hurts like a mofo. The pain is right at the top, where the toenail is but sometimes my calf feels achey and some days my ankle will hurt a little as well, but mainly my big toe. Any ideas what it could be?

    @@SportsInjuryPhysio Thank you for contacting! General Ankle joint sounds like your are right, not sure what type of injury could be, ligaments and tendons seems alright based on Ultrasound, muscle fatigue and balance loose for sure, lot of liquid within the joint as well. But that is exactly main part of the problem, I feel the doctors (at least mines here in USA) are not actually making contact with the patients, that is why I kept researching. Expended already US$1000 on different doctors that see you for 10-15 minutes and say "by" like Fast Food service without clear diagnose when I just paid $500 on consult and basic study. I can tell your passion and caring on your videos but this totally unusual. As today I am not seeing major changes with the boot, but because of your video I added an arch insole to the boot and feels better. Ice feels doing some good. I wish MRI would be just little bit cheaper. I coach soccer for kids and I can tell how difficult is to face each injury because doctors are just doing easy business without providing solutions. Again, I was very happy to see you answering my comment. God bless you.

    Check if your shoes are actually supporting your arches properly - the most common reason for this to get irritated is if your foot rolls in too much when walking - sometimes the simplest solution is the one that is needed. But any type of arthritis can affect that area, however, it sounds as if it is mostly painful when doing activities that strain that area so I would not think that arthritis is the main reason for this. Fibromyalgia most commonly affects muscles and soft tissue so I would not immediately blame that either.

    Something that can help to stop the scoliosis progressing and optimize your alignment is doing strength training and exercise that help you focus on alignment (like pilates but regular strength training can also work really well) However, don't try and force your spine into normal position - that won't work because the shape has permanently changed. Instead the focus is on strengthening the muscles so they can support you properly in that position. As for your foot pain, you will likely benefit from seeing a physio in person for advice on that because they will have to look at your overall posture and movement to come up with solutions to help your foot.

It’s come on over several months and have got progressively worse to the point now where it’s continuously painful, imflamed. I have agrivated it even more by going over on it and today it totally went from under me and is now like a balloon! I also know 100% that I haven’t injured it back when it first started, it’s just come out of nowhere. There is a point on backside of my Fibula/ankle joint that when pressed it absolute agony, like the point where a bone is chipped or something (I have been for x-rays and they came back normal) and literally makes me jump!! (I know ALL ABOUT bone pain I assure you)… This is just getting worse by the week … I have Naproxin and Codeine Phosphate for a severe wrist injury that has had 7 bone crunching/drilling operations on but as you say I need to find out the source of the problem and mix up the therapy … Do you have any advise??

There is still a little swelling around the front and bottom of my malleolus and my dorsiflexion is not as flexible as it was before the accident. I have been using a resistance band around my ankle with the band in front of the ankle and below the malleoli with the other end of the band attached to a door anchor and my foot elevated on a chair to try to mobilize the talus bone (or it is pulling the talus bone back) as I extend my knee forward. Do you think that is a good exercise with the band? I know you said not to do that dorsiflexion without the band.

    Start with simple balance first and work your way up - it can take a very long time. So the set I use most often is first master balancing with eyes open and staring at a fixed point - only once you can do that with NO wobble in ankle or body do you move on to doing with while turning head side to side and looking up and down. Again only then move on to closed eyes once that is 100% stable. Start with short holds for each and work up to 30sec. But this may not be the right advice for you and may need further adapting. It’s best to check with your physio as they should be helping you with this. This is also something that our team of physios can help you with via video call.

    You likely need to look at getting good supportive shoes (like supported running shoes, not too flexible) + orthotics that are right for you (if the arch is too high it will push your foot out too much) + allow it to calm down by adjusting your activities. Once it is a bit calmed you may need to add in exercise. I think the first step would be to see a good podiatrist for advice on shoes + orthotics.
