This can affect active, healthy children and causes pain in one or both heels. It is most likely that pain will occur after walking, running, or engaging in physical activity. <a href="https://kidsole.com/pronation-distortion-syndrome/" rel="nofollow">Severs disease shoe insole</a> is help's to reduce the risk of disease.<br /><br />David millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02737785602091208490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673715911736059911.post-50761536942263557032012-11-02T16:50:15.168-07:002012-11-02T16:50:15.168-07:00Hey Dad, sorry to hear about your son. Definitely ...Hey Dad, sorry to hear about your son. Definitely medrol dose pack is used at that age alot. Commmonly for asthma and poison oak, but severe inflammation of any cause it can sure do the trick. Give me a progress report after he goes through the medication. Once he is off the cortisone, he should go back to the Advil, ice for 20 minutes twice daily, and do contrast baths once daily. This attack on the inflammation should knock it out. The order of ending is 1) medrol dose pack, 2)advil, 3) contrasts, and then 4)icing. The medrol dose pack is a one time thing to knock down the inflammation, whereas the other 3 should be done until your son is back to full activity. I will try to be even clearer on my post today.

Have you ever used medrol dose pack to relieve severe inflammation? He started that yesterday. A month of rest (no activity other than school), advil 400 mg 3X a day did not help alleviate pain. I am praying for some relief for him.mygoodlifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345062236519619334noreply@blogger.com
