Pain above ankle on the sides
I felt pain on the side of sine above ankle after running a week for almost 5-7 km daily with 2 days rest in between. I Have completed half marathon twice before but this time I started running after break of 4-5 months.
I rested 2 weeks and then saw PT. He did TENS and Laser for 11 days and suggested exercise. And suggested try running again after 2-3 days.
So after ~5 weeks of complete rest and 2 weeks of PT with hot/cool packs etc., I started running again, but pain came even after running 300 meters.
Vitamin D is 11.75.
Looking for suggestions what I should do. Shall I meet Ortho or someone else.

Hi dear,
It seems you have vitamin D3 deficiency. The reference range of the total 25(OH)D level is 20-100 ng/mL. Also check for good footwear . Running track should be either of synthetic or grass.
Next Steps
Do regular stretching of calf and strengthening of dorsiflexors. If physio didn't works then take one or two sessions of dry needling nearby you.
Health Tips
Avoid running on concrete road.
