Tibialis Anterior Pain Won’t Quit? Why Your Ankle Hurts
If you’re feeling a sharp ache or tight burn at the top of your ankle every time you run or walk uphill, you’re not alone. Tibialis anterior pain shows up fast, sticks around longer than it should, and disrupts everything from training sessions to everyday movement.
The frustration comes when rest, ice, or stretching doesn’t actually help. You’re doing what you’re supposed to—so why does the pain keep coming back?
This stubborn kind of discomfort often stems from something deeper than muscle strain. It’s usually your body sending up a flare that something in your movement patterns, training volume, or recovery habits is off.
Here’s what might be behind the pain that won’t let go:
Overuse from uphill running or walking
Poor ankle mobility or stability
Weak foot and lower leg muscles
Training errors like sudden increases in intensity
Wearing shoes that don’t support your stride
