I'm getting conflicting info on the net.
I did something really stupid yesterday. I was trying to exercise very early A.M. and the routine I was doing had very little "movement", mainly weights and abs. So I decided not to wear my shoes because I didn't want to wake the house with my noise. There was a segment of calisthenics and I did a few jumping jacks, shoeless. No big deal, I spent my childhood doing stuff like that!!
Well, I felt the inside of my left foot "pull" during the jumping jacks and I quickly backed off of them. All day yesterday, I was limping a bit and it was hurting. This morning, the area is a tad bit swollen and it's hard to walk with a very noticeable limp. I am icing it now but am confused as to when to use heat if at all. The area affected is my inside ankle bone, the area below it and immediatly behind it (inside heel area).
So, is it ice, heat, stretches, sit on the couch? It seems to hurt worse when I haven't been moving around. I guess it tightens up. I can't take ibuprofen either.
