Tendonitis?

That sounds similar to what I have. My feet point outward, and my ankles roll in. It's just how I've always walked. And it's never been a problem. Until about 3 years ago. I suddenly developed a very sharp pain right in the spot you described. Seriously, it was sudden. I was walking up a flight of stairs. On about the 7th step, all of a sudden I couldn't support myself and my whole leg gave out from the pain shooting though my ankle. X-rays showed nothing. Another doctor said it was tendinitis. I think 40+ years of my feet pointing outward finally added up, plus at that time I was at my highest weight.

Anyway, I had to wear an ankle brace for 8 weeks, and since then I have to wear arch supports in my shoes. The arch supports make a huge difference.

But you should see a doctor to find out specifically what's going on with you.

Pain question- I had plantar fasciitis in my right heel a few months back. I lost about 15lb and the pain suddenly stopped. Almost immediately after that, i started having pain on my right ankle on the inner side, just below my ankle bone. The pain is worst first thing in the morning just like plantar was but hurts throughout the day also, especially while walking. It also hurts most if I flex my foot and tilt it outwards. Oddly, running isn't bothering it. Does it sound like tendonitis? I've been icing it and taking Advil around the clock, what else can I do?

Worse in the morning sounds more arthritic to me although the flex and tilt does sound tendon .. doctor I think

Is Advil an anti-inflammatory, you may be better with an ibuprofen or similar anti-inflammatory pain relief

check with your doctor

Advil is a brand name of the drug, ibuprofen.
