peroneal tendon strain

I had what i thought was a peroneal tendon strain (still not sure if it was or not but thats all i figured it could have been) and i was out for two months. It would feel ok after

about a week then id go to run on it and i wouldn't be able to walk the next day. I ended up sitting on my ass for two months straight before i was able to run. That was my experience but i may have aggravated because for the first couple weeks i kept trying to come back after a few days off and probably dug myself intoa deeper hole. hopefully yours goes better.

has anyone else experienced this

I had it a couple years ago, and I came back too quickly and ended up needing surgery. My advice - don't push it! Peroneal strains can be very tricky. I'd recommend checking out trigger points, I found that to be pretty helpful.

the peroneal tendon is proably from my experience reacting to a problem with the peroneal muscle.

check the entire length of the muscle group right up to the fibula head just below the knee. if you find any painful trigger spots go after them with deep cross friction massage.

get the fibula head alignment checked out by a chiropractor.

it would proably help to stretch it out by doing a straight leg hamstring stretch with the aid of a rope lying on your back with the foot dorsiflexed and turned in to the medial side.

good luck.

I had it a few years ago and it went away after a week of rest. I had it recently (ran a marathon anyway) and it took 3 months of rest, ART and physical therapy for it to go away. Be careful.
