Ah!

Could be your shins and ankles are very tight. Easing into the posture
gradually, longer and longer over time, may help. It's actually an
excellent posture for loosening up the shins and fronts of the
ankles. And make sure you're warmed up before getting into the
posture. Warm muscles gain flexibility where cold won't.

Are you using the position for meditating?

I always suggest 70%. Don't go to 100% Go to %70. That means easing
out of the position well before the pain sets in.

Do you have any ankle injuries that are aggravated? Recent injuries
(and old ones not checked out) could do with a check up. Strange
things turn up sometimes. And old injuries, well strengthening the
ankle is often a good idea for recovering from ankle sprains. You can
use a flexband to strenghten the flexion, extension, supination, and
eversion of the foot.
