Has anyone experienced this? I have burning pain behind/below my ankle on the outside and my lower leg, with twinges to my calf. I didn't injure it - I am not athletic in any way - but I suspect the horrible leg cramps may have something to do with it, or caused injury maybe.

The ankle has been very painful for about 2 weeks. A week after it started, while limping around due to the ankle pain, I smacked into a 25lb box of cat litter and hurt my toes and front of my foot - lovely red, blue, purple

Went to an Immediate Care center and had xrays. First they said a fractured toe, then the next morning they called and said the radiologist's interpretation is no fracture of the little toe. Ankle is peroneal tendonitis and stay off of it, take ibuprofen, use cold/heat, then exercises to help when tolerated. Isn't tolerated yet

Ibuprofen isn't much help and I am just now able to stay off it - I had an out of town visitor and we were out and about being 'tourists'. My visitor is no longer here, so now I can rest my foot.

Short story, long.. I guess. Anyway, has anyone had this and, if so, any advice of other things that helped? Any idea how long before walking isn't painful after about the first 5 steps of the day?

Thanks for your input!
