If I tie my skates tightly in the locker room, I get the same pain you've describe. What I usually do is keep the laces loose and only tie the eyelets above the ankles tightly. Then I skate a few laps, take a few hard cuts and get to the bench to tighten the laces. I can tighten as much as I want and there's no pain. This is the only way that works for me.
