Thank you very much for leaving a comment. Due to my time restraints, some comments may not be answered.I will answer questions that I feel will help the community as a whole.. I can only answer medical questions in a general form. No specific answers can be given. Please consult a podiatrist, therapist, orthopedist, or sports medicine physician in your area for specific questions.
Wow, thank you for posting Dr. Blake! I have 3 questions:
ReplyDelete1) Contrast bath - how much time in cold, how much time in hot, total time for both?
2) What did you mean by this "you may need a lot for the next 3 months"
3) When you said it could be minor, I felt very good - but the doctor I met with said it is PTTD and made it sound a bit serious. But, she never did an MRI. Just heel/toe raise test. I wonder if she is right or guessing, confused...
Contrasts are explained in the link below.

Without the MRI to really put a label on it, it may be PTTD, you can just try to go off what your body is telling you. Listen to your body. Create a pain free environment. If that requires you wear the boot during the day, or for certain activities, do it. See if you can go to a PT to really evaluate the ankle. Let me know what they find. Rich
The posterior one connects the heel to the fibula, and the anterior one connects the fibula to the talus, the top bone in the foot.
