    Doctor or Podiatrist. It obviously got worse.

    I had that kind of pain once, turned out to be a small fracture in one of the bones of my ankle. Go see someone who can check you out or send you for an x-ray, because it's better to catch it soon and fix it rather than hobble around on it until it gets worse.

    I agree you should get it checked out. I am an xray tech and even the smallest fractures can cause alot of pain. If you get an xray make sure they have it read by a radiologist not just an ortho doc. May be a stress fx hard to see but you do need to rest them--they heal better and faster that way. Good Luck!!

    YES! wear workout shoes when exercising~ helps to protect your feet and ankles. Rest (lay off running, elip, treadmill, walking ect) , Ice (20 min every 2 hours) , Compression (ace wrap it if the pain is a 5 or greater on a 1-10 scale), Elevate. The tendons may have been pulled and can really smart, you might have twisted your ankle in a move and not have realized it at the time. But if the pain doesn't get better in a week of the above, go see a doctor.
    Get better soon and keep up the good work!
