okay, I'm 17 yrs. old and for the past 5 years, I've had reoccuring ankle problems. I've never really been to a specialist about it, but I asked my family doctor about it and he said it was most likely tendonitis. The thing is, it first occured when I was wearing really heavy shoes all the time, and then it was at its worse. In the past five years, it flares up at random times probably about 3-4 times a year, lasting anywhere from a week to a few months. The weird thing about it is, when it first started, it was in the left side of my left ankle, and now it seems to have moved to the right side of the same ankle. It prevents me from running simply bc i cant bend it properly. Also, it doesnt flare up bc of overactivity bc, for example, I could be running several times a week for a while and it not flare up, but even if I'm not running at all or doing any kind of overexertion on it, it will just flare up again! I walk fine on it, it just wont let me run! If anyone has any comments or advice about it, please post!! Thanks! -JaMie-
