Daily Mobility Exercises by Dr. Kelly Starrett › Forums › Foot/Ankle › Nerve Compression above the Ankle
I inverted my ankle twice this season, once in April and once in mid-July, and bought an Active Ankle Volt so that I could make it through the end of the season in late October. The brace allowed me to dorsiflex and plantarflex the foot, while preventing me from inverting / everting my ankle.
Hey Harrison,
iron_tiger,
Have you seen a doctor about this situation?
What are you doing to address the compressed nerve?
Sounds like you have some work to do to improve the ankle rom.
You may need to work with your hip as well.

Having a difference side to side can cause an issue. The differences need attention so there is not a difference side to side.

You need to start working with the area. I would recommend starting with a softer ball than the lacrosse ball.
The Yoga Tune Up balls are a great option Therapy Ball or Therapy Plus Ball are good options.
Kaitlin,
Harrison,
Everything that Kaitlin said I agree with completely, but I would also think muscularly as well. Going off of your pix the pain is in the posterior compartment of your leg. Along with all the mobility work you are doing look into some anterior leg muscular work. Imbalances in the muscularity of the lower leg could cause some of your pain. Just a thought
Hope it helps
Hey Zach,
Harrison
So you want to work on the muscles opposite of your calf and gastroc, your anterior tibialis. A “tib raise” is just the opposite of a calf raise. Instead of raising your heels, stand on the edge of a stair or something similar. Let your toes drop down and then raise them back up. You should get some good contractions on the anterior part of your shin. You should be able to do 3 sets of 20.
You could also do something similar with bands. Hook a band to a grounded structure then hook around your foot. Sit on the floor, back up to gain tension and dorsiflex (flex towards you) your foot. The band givesd good tension in both ranges of flexions as well. Relax at plantarflexion and let the band stretch your ankle out as well.
Hope that helps
Dorsiflexion: Engaged.
