Help! pain below ankle about an inch towards the toes, what is it and how do i treat it?

Sinus tarsi: Sounds like you are experiencing sinus tarsi/ subtalar joint pain. This is the joint below your ankle. Pain in this joint indicates your foot is pronating too much which causes compression of the joint and pain. A quality anti pronation running shoe may help and if not a functional forefoot orthosis made by a podiatrist would be warranted.
