I posted a few months ago with a queury about pain in my inside heel.
Based on the replies that I got, I think the problem was an inflammation
of the tissue that connects the heel to the toes.  I was finally able
to cure the problem with new (& well-cushioned) shoes, two weeks of
rest (some walking, no running), ice after each walk & initially after
each run when I started back, starting back slowly, ibuprofin.

Then, before Christmas, I was running on a level road & suddenly felt
a very sharp pain in my ankle, on the outside just below & slightly to
the back of the boney part.  The ankle never twisted at all; the pain
just started on one perfectly mild-mannered down step. 
Further running was out of the question--I could walk but only 
gingerly.  As soon as I cooled down, the ankle stiffened but never
swelled.  I tried to run once after 2 weeks & made matters worse--
now almost 3 weeks later, I definately get the impression that running
is not a good idea.

The first question is what the devil I managed to do to myself.

The second question is whether there could be a dietary deficiency
or other problem that is causing my ligaments to be injury-prone (I also
injured something in the back of my hand late last Fall, an injury that was
attributed to too much computer work).  I don't eat red meat & eat chicken
no more than 2-3 times a week; I don't drink much milk but eat lots of
cheese; I don't eat eggs at all; I usually take some sort of vitamin with
iron as otherwise I tend towards mild anemia. 

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help,
