Ankle sprain: Where are you are referring to is the attachment. For the anterior and posterior tibial or fibular ligament's. They are most commonly injured and sprains, additionally the peroneal tendon's run behind the fibula and are commonly inflamed and repetitive running activities. You would require an MRI to diagnose the problem and direct care such as bracing and steroid injections.

Could I have stress fractures in my shins, or worse? I have never ran before, but recently have been running 5-7 miles a week. My shins, calves, ankles, and knees are hurting all the time. My shins throb for hours after a small run, and i can barely walk.

I have been running a lot and recently started to have lower calf pain. When I walk around or ice, I can sometimes feel the pain shoot down into my heel/foot. I assume its a strain and rest is best, but wanted to make sure it might not be serious?

I began running about 7 months again and a few weeks in, I began experiencing fibula pain. The pain is located a couple of inches above the ankle. I stopped running for 3 months until they didnt hurt. I began running again and the pain has returned?
