If the foot MRI did not get the area enough, the ortho will have to get another. Your job is to control the swelling with icing every 2 hours or so, compression of some sort 24/7, and as much elevation as possible (even as little as 2 inches off the floor). Does not sound like it can take the pressure from a Aircast PTTD Airlift Brace. Just rest as much as you can. You have to have torn the tendon to produce the changes on your foot. I hope this helps some.

I have some of the symptoms, esp pain on my inner ankle and foot. Also, I am unable to perform the toe raise on the affected foot without causing quite a bit of pain, or not able to perform it at all. I was prescribed a walking boot but I still have a considerable amount of pain with it on. They performed an MRI of just my foot and I am to visit a foot/ankle specialist this upcoming Monday. Should they have taken an MRI of my ankle too? I knew they were concerned about my posterior tendon, but there was no mention of it in the MRI report. I am just a little concerned at the moment. I am currently working as a nurse in an ICU and they put me on sit-down only work restriction so as not to make the injury an worse. Any advice?

Try to protect your other foot with good orthotics, stable shoes, ankle braces like the Aircast Airlift PTTD when appropriate, and great posterior tibial tendon strengthening exercises. It is a problem that does affect both sides, so get the other side as strong as possible.

It was incredibly painful. Now my other foot is degenerating in the same way, age 61. Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10566314490821906541noreply@blogger.com
