I have tried starting from before I was a suppling leopard – Icing, anti-inflammatory, prolonged rest. After I started suppling – Voodoo flossing, daily soft tissue work on the peroneals (this helps relax the muscle if it goes into spasm, utilizing a lacrosse ball or barbell), plus a prescription ankle support to aid in keeping the tendon from moving (that doesnt work to well, but its not a rigid support). Is there anything more I could be doing to try to remove the fluid?

I have not had my technique looked at, but I have not run much since September. Its hard to say how my gait was pre-injury, but I was a ball striker logging hundreds of KMs each summer without any trouble. Post injury however, I am certain my gait is off now. The ankle does not feel like it moves naturally and I think I now have a subtle limp, but I think this goes hand-in-hand with the mallelous being out a bit forcing the ankle to not move naturally. At this point I feel like until I resolve the issue with the ankle not being aligned I am not going to be able to fix my gait. But maybe this is a chicken-egg scenario – My gait is bad because my ankle is out, my ankle is out because my gait it bad?

I know this is a complex issue and one that needs to be addressed in person by professionals. I have seen two PTs and a orthopedic doctor and going to see a chiropractor in the new year. Is there any other options I should consider investigating should this fail?

Thanks again
