Tendonitisby Karen (no login)I am searching for answers and thought I would ask here. I am a basketball coach and have a player with significant pain in her left foot. It is on the outside of her foot, just below her ankle bone, slightly toward her achilles tendon. She remembers a specific moment when the injury occurred, then the pain increasing in intensity over a two week period before it was severe enough to mention to the coaches and trainers. She has been told it is tendonitis and was placed on anti-inflammitory medication. She has been resting it for over 3 weeks and has seen improvement, but every time she tries to increase her activity is comes back quickly. My question is would cortisone (sp?) be indicated for an injury like this? Should she see a podiatrist instead of an orthopedic doctor? Any advice is appreciated as she has a scholarship riding on her ability to play this summer. from IP address 130.13.164.86 Goto Forum Home |
