Injury vs arthritis: It sounds like you may have an overuse injury. This could be anything from tendinitis to a torn ligament to a stress fracture. Or, you may be developing arthritic changes in the ankle joint. Best thing is to see podiatrist, sports medicine doc or orthopedist for exam, xrays, maybe other tests, treatment.

Sounds like: Tendonitis. Need nsaids rest, ice mild stretching and possible therapy. Being a runner its hard to keep us down but you do need to rest it. See podiatrist to check biomechanics and may need orthotics.
