Swollen ankle from running?

tihi18

Hi everyone. I have a question. I've always run off and on but for the last few months I've been more regular about it. I run 4-5 days per week on the treadmill averaging about 2.5 miles per run. Today I noticed my ankle is swollen. Does this mean I run too much? Could running shoes be the problem? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I would try some different shoes!

Ok thanks! Maybe I am just working these too hard.

Sounds like your body is doing exactly what it should do, inflammation from intense (not over) use. Ice and anti-inflammatory medicine or foods may help.
