Ankle pain after deep squats

Hello everyone. I’ve been practising getting into a deep squat position to try and improve my flexibility. I’ve had to hold on to a pole to prevent myself falling backwards and have just been getting used to being in that position for a minute or so each day.

After a few days, I started getting an ache in this part of my ankle on my right ankle. It’s a deep ache but not a sharp pain. It gets more pronounced when I lift my toes up or through ankle dorsiflexion. So I know feel it when I get into the deep squat position.

I was wondering what is causing this and whether it is something that will resolve itself as I get used to being in that position. And if there’s anything I can do to help prevent it or improve it. Thank you!

Suit fit advice

Hello, I have just got this suit tailored and its proportions seem wrong, especially when buttoned. Is the jacket too short generally or is the top button fixed too high (distance from the shoulders to the top button too short compared to distance from top button to bottom of the jacket) or is it something else?

Would really appreciate instructions that I should give to the tailor for alterations that should be made to make this suit look right. Thank you!

Thank you!

EDIT: thank you everyone. I suspected as much but had no idea how to tell. Appreciate the comments!

Advice on suit jacket

I was hoping to get some advice on this suit that I just got from the tailor. The jacket’s proportions don’t seem to sit right but I can’t tell what is wrong specifically. It also looks like the jacket and pants were made separately or do not belong in the same suit. As a rough indicator, the second button is roughly where my natural waist / belly button is at in the picture where the suit is buttoned.

Would be grateful for any input on this and what I should be telling the tailor to adjust. Thank you!

EDIT: thanks for the comments so far. The sleeves may have looked short because they bunched up when I put it on and I didn’t straighten them out. I was wondering if there were any thoughts on the proportions in that the length from the shoulders to the top button seems a little short in proportion to the length of the top button to the end of the jacket? In terms of tightness, it doesn’t feel tight but I see it does pull when buttoned. Should I get anything adjusted on the pants too - it does seem that the mismatch may be due to the pants being too slim fit compared to the jacket?
