I just wrote out three paragraphs but my computer crashed! So i'll keep this really simple:
-history of ankle sprains but nothing in past 5 years. Ankle felt great up to last week.
TUESDAY
-did a track workout (circular track) for the first time and over-did it (lots of sprints, etc.)
WEDNESDAY
-felt VERY sore in my glute...probably from running in circles and from the stopping and starting
THURSDAY
-still a bit sore but decided to go jogging. Did 14km. A bit sore in glute but that's it.
FRIDAY
-When i went to bed I was stretching and flexed my ankle a bit and may (or may not of) heard a bit a click - can't remember.
SATURDAY
-Woke up in severe pain. Felt like ankle was sprained. Could barely walk on it. I iced it for 15min then pain went away. I had a bit of a lingering limp later in day but could hardly notice.
SUNDAY
-Woke up and again...severe pain. Iced it but pain never went away. All day extremely painful as well as next morning. Was on crutches. Went to doctor and was told it was (i) delayed sprain causing delayed tendon swelling, (ii) gout. I asked why it came on Saturday and was gone on Sunday but he wasnt sure. He said he has experienced pain in his knee that suddenly went away "I can't explain things like that....and i'm a doctor!"
TUESDAY
-In the afternoon, within a span of about 4 hours, the pain went from a 9 to a 2. By Wednesday i was walking without a limp.
Anyone had this? Doctor said gout is a possibility and can be brought on by sudden over-exercise. Strange thing is i'm 39 yrs old, lean, underweight if anything, and eat very healthy.
