Sore ankles after jogging

[sassea19]

I wear heels on a daily basis, both at work and casual. I recently started exercising on the treadmill and into the second week I noticed my ankles started to hurt. Now when I get out of bed, they're killing me and I walk funny, then when I put my sneakers on to get on the treadmill, bit of a walk to the community center, I am walking funny again because they're sore and painful. I am figuring that because my muscles are used to high heels, its been a strain on the ankle muscles in general. I am on a mission to lose some weight and do not want to stop. What can I do to ease the pain or help my ankles along the way-so to speak??? Now once I'm on the treadmill I am ok, I just can no longer jog and THAT'S frustrating... Please advise, I'd like to jog again. Sarcastic people need NOT reply... Thanks in advance.

i heard somewhere that jogging is bad for the joints and very strenuos on knees and ankles and apparently brisk walkig is best for you,not sure how true this is though.x

Thank you, I am aware of this and appreciate your input. The pain is now, looking for an answer as to what I can do to have less pain

Stretch out your calf muscles, high heels will shorten your Achilles tendons by the position they put you in. Try if possible to jog outside on different surfaces rather than persisting on a treadmill, as this is more likely to aggravate injuries.

Thank you Campbell king. Appreciate the info. My ankles are very stiff right now and trying to find a remedy to lighten the pain. Will try the calf muscle stretches. Thanks again
