Biomechanics : Your problem is one of alignment or lack of proper alignment. These are considered “overuse injuries” . I would visit a podiatrist or a Physical therapists knowledgeable in biomechanics. Shoes, shoe inserts and custom orthotics are used in this situation. You are young and still developing. Not uncommon to see.
