Return of the Cankle

I've been seeing a chiropractor for the pain I was having in my right knee and hip and let me tell you, he's done wonders in just three visits. I had issues with my left lower leg/ankle from January to June of this year and finally got things under control there. Or so I thought....
One of my major problems was shin splints - gone, check
Another problem was tibialis tendonitis causing major pain in my ankle and shin - gone, check
Finally, last problem was extreme swelling in my anterior ankle - gone, check .... wait a minute!! Seems as though the swelling is back. Thankfully it is not accompanied with any pain this time. So, I'm back on the ibuprofen, will ice immediately after running and stay off of it as much as I can. Let's all keep our fingers crossed and say it together, "Keep the pain away, keep the pain away".
So what that it's shorts and flip-flop weather and hard to cover up an ankle? I can live with it as long as it doesn't hurt. I mean, after all, what's hotter than a runner with a cankle?

I hope you will be all better fast! And you're right, no matter what, bottom line, hello, you're a runner. That's hot.
