Without getting too wordy I want to say I’ve made lots of progress and want to thank everyone for the help.

Long story short.  Been doing the recommended.  Original ankle pain is all but resolved.  New problem / pain.
I have always had flat feet.  Right foot has always been a lot worse.  Now that I walk with my feet straight and an arch (majority of the time when I’m conscious of it) things are a heck of a lot better.
The thing is it feels like a cable is wrapped around the inside ankle bone.  If I stand correctly and bend my knees forward the right ankle just runs into a wall…. WAY before the other side.  This is clearly the problem but I can’t seem to make it budge.  At first I made lots of progress but doing the self maintenance, mobility drills, working on posture, etc isn’t making much a difference anymore.
Step up the intensity?
Change approaches?
Any advice at all?
