    Do you have a video of yourself walking/running? that might give some evidence what is going on..

    I live in Iceland. Not sure if anybody is using Hawkgrip here but I´ll look into it 🙂

    I could stand on the leg pretty much straight away, maybe 2-3 days and was back in my office job a week after the op. I play football (soccer) and started training 6 weeks after but that was too soon so I am now only doing Crossfit where I focus on mobiltiy and stretching until I am able to start training again. I live in Iceland

    Yes two months ago, still not 100% after the op but hopefully soon I’ll be back training 100%

    I had the same problem as you describe. In my case it were bone spurs. My recommendation is to have a scan to see what is going on.

    Can I ask about bad IR stretching, what are the common mistakes people do when they try to stretch for better IR?

    Just came back from the doctor and he said the reason for this twisting motion was to protect the ligament, I saw the x rays and there are clear bone spurs that need to be removed. He gave me a cortisone injection and I´ll be taking it easy for a few days and see if there is any change. If not then surgery is the only option.

    Need to take a better look at my running technique, gonna record it and see how it looks
    Thanks for all the info 🙂

    I think the bone spurs came from an old injury that I didn´t treat properly..

    I thought I had good walking/ running technique, feet and arms moving straight but then I noticed when I am walking I externally rotate the heel in every step. I land on my right foot normally but before I lift the foot I externally rotate the heel. It´s like I´m screwing my feet into the ground, a little twisting motion in the heel… what is that all about??

    Can this be described as junky tissue? I have this soft bulge that I just noticed now while reading this thread. I sprained my ankle pretty bad a couple of years ago and did not treat it properly back then and now following an x-ray I found out I have bonespurs in my ankle limiting ROM and causing the ankle to become swollen and me being unable to train (I am a football (soccer) player). It is also on my left foot but noticeably smaller. Is the voodoo floss band a good way to clear this or do I need to do something else? note on the picture I am a little red after the voodoo band session.

    Thanks for these suggestions. Another question, our goalkeeper is unable to lock out his knees or his elbows, I’m not talking about hyperflexion but the opposite! His elbows and knees are just stuck in a bent position… Is it arthritis or is this treatable with stretching and smashing??

    Thank you for that, I will show him these. Yes I am a pro user and there is a lot of great info on this site and has really opened up my eyes!

    I got a hold of one of his x-rays but I am not good at reading into them, can you see anything looking at the hips in this picture? Do you see any bone spurs for example?
