Most common cause I find is from driving, especially the floating foot on the accelerator pedal. Stretch and strengthen.

Seriously could cry..at last after years of pain and visits to physios with them telling me I had Achilles tendinitis when I had pain exactly at that knobbly bit on the outside of my knee which was to sore to touch I can finally say that I have had great results concentrating on these exercises..thank u😁❤️

Thanks for this amazing video! My son is an elite distance runner. In May, he began experiencing extreme lower leg tightness during runs. It’s totally fine after. He also had a cuboid bone stress fracture in June and took 6 weeks off. That is now healed, per X-rays. Since coming back, he’s experiencing similar lower leg pain, though not as extreme. It is always in both legs, however one day he’ll have gastrocnemius tightness, the next day it might be the front outer shin, and often tightness in the bottoms of his feet down the middle from foot pad to heel pad. It’s always the same area in both legs that day. He’s seeing a PT, doing lots of stretches. It does seem much better if he takes ibuprofen before a run. Not running is not an option for the next 3 months. Any advice for him?

I have had pain in that lower to mid outer calf for YEARS. I can't walk quickly or run and I have a hard time walking on an incline/hill without both my legs burning to the point of needing to stop, stretch then and limp home after 5 minutes. It is super frustrating as I would love to run or move without pain in my calves. I have seen multiple professionals about this and they just say get better shoes or try inserts, which of course I have tried without much success. I will start doing these exercises to see how they feel- it would be a god send if this cleared up this issue! Thank you for sharing!

[@petecircenis8930]

This I have to comment because I've had this for 14 years and have just lived with it. Long story short, podiatrist said the plantar fasicitis was the thing and to get orthotics. Did that and I've managed as best I could, learning to live with it. I did get quite good at KT tape but that is short term solution at best. I understand it better after this video and will use your approach. Yoga has helped some as I started that during covid and am quite hooked on it. I may even buy your device if I can't find a substitute here.

Hey Doctor, can this condition cause, additionally to the pain, a bit of tingling in the affected part of the foot and lower leg? Not really tingling and not really numbness, but something of a weird sensation that I cannot explain. Also, I get the pain mostly in the lateral foot, but in the beginning it was spreading upwards the outer lower leg. Please answer me, thank you so much

Diagnosed with tendonitis from running. It is excruciating walking days after. Another big problem that I always thought was a fracture was under my foot between the ball and the heel. It hurt for 6 months. I had 10+ ankle sprains from BBall and army. Like grapefruit size sprains. Are there any pre or post running exercises that can help the outer knees or under foot. Thanks for the ab work outs. I am supposed to do PT, but in France, I prefer English. Thank you. And I am happy to have found this channel.

When doing the first exercise, as I press downwards towards the ankle (when I get past half way) I can feel something (a tendon or nerve) pop out and in around the ankle with a twinge. Does that sound like something is out of place? Thanks for the video!

[@NpmanTube]

Another very useful info package in a nutshell, thanks doc. Quick question: what is your take on barefoot shoes, or walking/exercising barefoot? It is claimed that today's very hi-tech shoe soles may be the root of our joints' problems.

[@drkristieennis]

I believe that a lot of people can do well in barefoot shoes, weaning into them, but not everyone. We all have different foot shapes and issues. Also, we now have pavement which wasn’t in existence a long time ago:)

@@drkristieennis Noted, dear doc. It is definitely something to transition carefully and gradually into. Our habits and habitats definitely dictate a lot.

[@enadiedericks2006]

Thanks a lot. I've got very bad footpain. First thought it might be the plantar faciitis thing. But I think something had a tear on the side of my foot because I felt something give away there. First thing I did was get new shoes as I noticed my older ones need replacing because the sole was worn out at the back outside edges. Then I read older shoes can cause problems. And I read new shoes could cause problems. Then I saw your video on weak hip muscles and now this video. Its been about 6 weeks of varying degrees of bad to excruciating pain. I can only tolerate about 10 minutes of walking. But my gait is affected too as I can't do normal walking. And everywhere on my lower leg where I poke my finger I experience pain. Now you gave all those lower leg muscles a name too. I'm done now. I'll have to exercise all my muscles for weeks to get a new wheel alignment so to speak. I've started on pain killers and anti- inflams which I did not want to do, but life must go on and I can't live with the pain any longer. I'm on the wrong side of 65 and my winter weight is remaining put. I can't walk it off this summer. And extra weight doesn't make it better ey. But thank you dear for clearing some questions up. Theres a joke out there about a blonde patiebt demonstrating to the doctor that wherever she pokes her finger in her flesh, she experiences pain. The doctor eventually discovers she has a broken finger. I'm thinking about that age old joke many times. It describes perfectly how things are my end 🙃

wrong side of 65, thats cute.

Hi Dr. Ennis! Thanks for the awesome video, I have a question for you. This area on both my legs/feet gets very very sore (actually burns with a fire!) when I begin jogging, or if I do high impact cardio (like anything with jumping). Do you think these exercises will help prevent that pain from starting up? It's only if I power walk, jog, or jump too much. I'd love to begin jogging, but this pain shuts that down within about 30 seconds of starting. Please let me know what your thoughts may be if you see this, thank you!

I’ve had fusion on my lumbar spine after a ruptured disc. The disc fragmented and was scattered in my sciatic nerve, leaving permanent damage down the lower lateral leg. Also had total medial meniscus tear and repair, removing most of it leaving bone on bone. For years I have had severe muscle cramping in that leg. A night with a very bad cramp turned my foot extremely outward. Now I have a longitudinal tear of my peroneus brevis. I’m wearing a stabilizing brace to avoid a surgery. Had enough of those. Now I’m finding these videos and wondering if I can stretch and strengthen my way to being out of pain or do I have to have surgery for the tear first.

[@frankpalacios6021]

It could be from this but this could be a nerve issue caused by something else. Without examining you, it is difficult to say.

Hi Kristie, can it also be caused by wearing a certain kind of shoes? I find I get pain down both legs but find some nights I get cramps on the top of my foot just above that bone.

[@junak777]

I have little skin indents( blood or else, vessels or tendon) in the peroneal brevis part due to squats, perhaps some injury a long time ago. Right foot,/leg. Also I sprained my right jumping ankle.. Some fat man was falling down on me while I had that unlucky sprain. ANyways I walked after a week and a lot of bluish swelling. But now although I know that shoe was kinda dead, I ran 10k and in the end of it I felt something that felt like a torn calf or soleus maybe. It was like moving tension. Under stress although I was still. I couldn't walk for a few days. It was intense. But what bothers me, although it is clear what peroneal tendonitis is, I have perhaps cuboid syndrome as well, beside enlarged bursa behind heel from bad friction in running shoes. Luckily now they remove the hard heel counter and place their pillowy sponge. So to the point. My heel, the calcaneus on my right foot, always ruins the left part of every new right shoe. Likewise I think that the plane of loading phase is inclined towards the arch, instead of 2 points..there is that third, loss of force direction, pronation. Actually tibia fibula don't stand straight in symmetry like on a healthy foot, but rather angled towards right, away from arch, targeting peroneus brevis. Meaning: foot plane is rotated towards up right. Chiropractor says no. He says it is not cuboid, it is tendon. But when I knock on it, its sound is that of a bone, not soft tissue as on my left foot. But he never explained why my heel doesn't press in the middle like a healthy left foot. Actually on every run, especially when weather ionization is present, during phase seasons transitions , it attacks p. brevis..Cold/ warm acclimatization kinda stiffs p. brevis and it aches. It aches in the down part of the stomach as well. My ankle is like I went floor down. And from there it starts to attack the right side along the metatarsal and left side of heel..from there sometime arch and big thumb. I really wish I could simply unplug that position. stuckness. Angle of freedom. I can move my foot in rotation and up towards my knee and in reverse down. No problem there. BUt it feels wrong. Like someone placed a rod or a bar into differential gears, from the tibia that rolls towards the arch..It constantly reminds me of the area below the right heel talus. Like warm fuzzy, loss of foot feeling. That light unawareness of gentle ...sort of flying really. We don't appreciate what we have until we lose it. Like added weight..or felt foot weight like it is some part of a mechanism that relies entirely on certain movement that is clogged now. Usually the weight of the component is not important, but the way the whole moves. So it feels like cuboid manipulation could be it. But nobody listened. So now the entire weight is pressed on that lateral right side of the right leg and right clicking below the right side of right foot heel /talus..Taking a bigger angled heel or sole simply won't do it. I even found a guy that offers some inventions on how to raise an arch. Although I have a good arch. Muscles below foot are rarely relaxed. Maybe 3 to 7 runs a year. I kinda absorb IR from the Sun in summer and do more movement and overall raise the performance of my body ..and kinda pass that good vibe torads feet. I learned and improved running technique and I also do some exercises that I never did in the past. Wish I knew it earlier. It really gives me a decent headache when I watch people ruin their legs on asphalt by the way they run. Nobody uses the loading phase of the arch any more. So in all this mess and confusion my real problem is lost symmetry, or maybe some weak muscles. Nevertheless, the part under feet that I feel while walking suggests it. Left is like a teddy bear . Fingers are stretched and relaxed. Loading is not noticeable. Foot is light. Nowhere on the left I have visible blood vessels. Even in dead shoes nothing aches. And the balance on the left is A ok. Balance on the right thou, : I fall towards the left. Line that goes under the right foot from the small finger towards the heel: is the place I hit(walk over). I don't feel my fingers contact with the ground. And my heel hurts on the left. LIke someone cut my foot with a katana. Across talus. Stretching of fingers on right aches. Nothing special. BUt I noticed it. Also if I stretch my left foot and place my right foot on the left thigh muscle that bump or cuboid (or tendon ) hurts( contact with ground) if I lean forward to improve stretch of hips etc. Tib raises help in running but not with this problem. Hip raises too. I do calf exercises, but not the soleus variant. My bones in my foot in the tarsal and metatarsal area seem like crushed mashed potato.Yes, the observer sees them but inside out is 180 degrees flip of what is real. Thank you for the effort to teach us!

[@phillipr7191]

I have pain localized to the fibular head that spreads to the back of the calf muscle after running. It started after wearing a new pair of shoes. Could this be due peroneal tendonitis?

[@drkristieennis]

It could. It could also be nerve or even gastroc muscle referral.

[@debashreegoswami]

Thanks for the reply. So I did an MRI and an ultrasound. The diagnosis is mild swelling of the nerve that runs along the fibular head.. There is no swelling above and below this point. I don’t know what to do to alleviate the pain. I’ve already been light on my activity for the last 2 months. I used to play tennis on a regular basis.

It definitely could! This causes more stress on those tendons.

what is the piece of metal you use ? its says Derma edge

[@drkristieennis]

It is a device I created and patented after I was diagnosed with Lyme disease to work on the muscles without pain. It is made out of aluminum. If you do want to purchase one it is available here: www.drkristieennis.com/derma-edge

Can popping your ankle, like a LOT, cause this soon? 😢

[@carinacullen3815]

I'm a professional Ballroom dancer and was diagnosed with Peroneal Tendonitis after having had an MRI. I've been in a moonboot for two months already as the orthopedic surgeon told me to keep it immobile but it is not getting better at all. This is so frustrating as my entire dance company is affected by this. Have you heard of taking this long to heal? Should I rather take it out of the moonboot and start doing these types of exercises? I know you will probably say you are not a doctor and I should follow the doctors advice but doctors over here in SA is a joke sometimes and more than once I got told to do things which made injuries way worse.

[@MrKhalio]

That is, more than three months of this problem. Walking, driving, and standing still were torture for me. I advise you to do simple and gradual exercises, especially sciatica exercises.

I feel like I’ve learned more about the anatomy of my lower leg in this video than I did from the drs that I’ve went to for “just an ankle sprain”. 4 months in a still in pain! PT is killing me…🥺

[@Xektt]

Reinjured my ankles doing jumping jacks in April/May...still in recovery (but better!) Bob & Brad as well as MIchigan Foot Doctors have the best PT videos I've come across. Hope you fully recover soon!

Sometimes I have a numbness on the outside of my quad from the hip to almost my knee. Doesn’t really bother me, just a strange feeling.

[@drkristieennis]

That could certainly be coming from many different sources, including nerve.

Can you talk about muscle twitching? Jeff

What about muscle twitching do you want to know?

[@knoxflyer101]

@@drkristieennis my legs ....especially calf muscles. They twitch alot in the morning. Until I get going. Chiropractor doesn't seem to help.....should I get blood work done ? Maybe deficient in something.

Great video, you are a beautiful woman.

[@drkristieennis]

Thanks!

[@sarahhughes3350]

I have lower back problems, lordosis, weak muscles...curious if that is causing hip weakness which in turn is causing this? I never had an injury, its a bilateral pain, it happens when I go for walks. I feel it from the outer ankle up the side of the calves

[@drkristieennis]

Usually it’s the hip weakness and tightness that causes the back issues. It is certainly worth looking into:)

Sort of forgot why I was here 😂😂 thanks tho 👍👍
