Ankle problems

In April 2009 I sprained a ligament (I think) in my left ankle. Slowly but surely I got back up to distance again, managing to run 10km again. However, the ankle has still been twinging every now and then. Yesterday, during a fast trail run with Hubby it twanged again, and I had to stop running just in case.

Today I visited a new physio, who explained that he thinks my foot is sitting in the ankle socket in a strange way, meaning the cartilage is rubbing and becoming inflamed. So he waggled my foot for a bit then pulled it really hard!

Initially the joint felt a bit looser and ok, but right now it hurts and I'm icing it. I'm a little concerned about a setback, because I REALLY want to do the Triathlon on September 6th...
