I had those when I used to skate a lot... I found that better shoes and either ankle or knee support helped out a LOT...

Also examine the mechanics of your feet while running... I know that when the palm of my foot would "slap" the pavement that made it MUCH worse then if I used the toe area or heel of the foot.

Another thing to try is to try to be lighter on your feet... IE do most of the lifting of your body weight on the push off not the landing of the foot.

Also try to get shoes that have a curve to the sole of the shoe so it automatically leads your foot into a smooth transition.
