A few things that come to mind:

Get checked for a leg length discrepancy. There are solutions.
Consider getting some inserts for your shoes.

Think of your elbows like elbowing somebody directly behind you, not large, flailing motions.
Go see a podiatrist, you may have a number of possible problems with your foot.
Keep in mind any past injuries.
