Glad to hear you're moving forward! If you don't get total relief, try shockwave therapy. Worked a miracle on my Achilles tendinosis, and it's non invasive. 4-6 treatments and I was back to full running with no pain after a gradual ramp of 2-3 weeks. Be advised, it hurts a lot to have shockwave therapy, but it works!
I'll keep that in mind if things don't improve, but I have to say, I'm impressed so far!
I am now 10 days post-PRP injection and on day 17 of no running (took off a full week before getting my injection) and I have experienced a significant reduction in pain over the last 72 hours especially. I have nearly full range of motion in my left foot, which I haven't had in months. I started doing some PT exercises yesterday (eccentric heel drops, thera-band exercises on my feet, walking on tippy toes, etc.) and have been able to do so with only mild discomfort. For cross training I have started to use the elliptical in addition to the stationary bike, and even went for a short (1mi) walk yesterday.
I'll keep you guys posted if you are curious.
Did this do anything for you? I also have a partial tear in my posterior tibial tendon that hasn't been all that responsive to conservative treatment.
