hello there,
after about two months of thinking i had a sprained ankle a specialist diagnosed me with posterior tibial tendonitis. i call it the tendonitis on my inner ankle. lol he gave me a cortisone shot (not sure why he did that, heard it weakens tendons, however after two months my swelling was not responding to RICE or advil) but anyways, he prescribed me insoles for my arch, got those, been wearing them religiously since i saw the doc on tuesday. he also said i need a good pair of shoes, with some stability and support. just got my new balance shoes today, i was also told to put the insoles into my new shoes. i'm doing that.
i was told to remain on flat surfaces, no sand, no gravel, hills, hiking etc. rest when need be, ice, take advil. is there anything else i should or could be doing to help get this healed up?
never been through this before. i was thinking ultrasound treatments or would those make no difference? thanks board, any stories, suggestions, much much appreciated.
