Have you gone over the outside of your ankle?

It hurts a lot!

Why does this happen?

  1. The outside of the ankle has only two tendons, and the inside of the ankle has three!
  2. Movements to the side create excess force to the outside of the ankle, and the tendon comes out of its groove, flicks over the bone, and when your foot straightens up again, it goes back into its groove.
  3. Tendons are not muscles, once you stretch them, you are at a high risk of doing it again!
  4. The more you injure the tendon, the more often it will happen
