Inner ankle nerve pain

[ollymae1980]

This inner ankle pain began about two months ago when I bumped my medial malleolus on a peice of exercise equipment.  I didn't even bump it that hard, I felt tingly, like when you bump your elbow.  



It hurts now whenever I do certain yoga poses, run, ride a bike or even just stand on my toes.  I am used to being very active so this has been difficult.

It will cause the arch of my foot to hut as if I have plantar fascitis.  My soleus will also spasm sometimes.

I don't understand why all this is happening after just merely bumping my ankle.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Pain on the inner side of the ankle at the attachment of tibialis posterior muscle can cause pain when the tendon of this muscle is inflamed. This could have happened post injury. It can also be a ligament injury, especially deltoid ligament.
Please do not strain the ankle further by exercising. Consult an orthopedic specialist. You may need to immerse the foot in warm water and apply local analgesic. However since the clue to right treatment is right diagnosis do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. Take care!
