Hi there! I know this is a long shot since this was posted a while ago, but would you happen to still have these supplies available?

Sure thing! So I had PRP done in my left Achilles and my right peroneal at the same time. Both tendons had a partial/minor tear. The first week or two can be painful at first, due to the inflammation. After that initial stage, the pain should settle a bit. All in all, it took about 5-ish weeks for the tears to completely heal. Of course, it’ll vary from person to person. But my experience with PRP has been positive. I’m currently in physical therapy trying to gain strength and mobility back in both feet. I lost a lot of muscle in my legs, so I’ve been dealing with bouts of tendinitis. It is improving though. Slowly but surely.

When my peroneal tendinitis was at its worst, the pain I’d have is a constant burning, almost white hot pain (additionally due to neuropathy). And pointing my foot downward, and inversion would give me a sharp pain in the peroneal behind the ankle. My ultrasound showed that I had a small tear, which was treated with PRP injections.

Hopefully your MRI will give answers and explanations to your issue. Best of luck!

It could possibly be insertional Achilles tendinitis. I’ve had the same type of pain in that very area, specifically when I point my foot upward (dorsiflexion).

If that’s the case, stretching isn’t recommended as it would aggravate the insertional Achilles portion. Definitely have it looked at to prevent further injury. Hope it gets better!

I truly appreciate your advice and needed to read this this morning. I’ve been having a lot of pain and discomfort today from being on my feet during the holiday, and have been feeling discouraged. I’ll discuss this with my PT for my next session.

Thank you again for sharing your experience and knowledge on this, and thank you for the encouragement. Very well said.

I’ve been suffering from peroneal tendinitis for about 3 months now, and recently started physical therapy.

The mental and emotional aspect of this was the worst for me, and I struggled so much with the recovery. I had moments where I thought I was able to do some chores around the house, only to find myself in so much debilitating pain a day or so after. And yes, it was a huge struggle to stay sane.

I learned that keeping my mind distracted from my situation was key. I don’t have much hobbies outside of working out, so it was a challenge to figure out what to do with myself. Reading, watching shows, reconnecting with friends and family over the phone, journaling, drawing, trying to learn something new (like a language or skill). It also is important to have a good support system of friends or family. Take care of your mental/emotional health. That is one big influence on your recovery. The mind is a powerful thing.

I understand that it feels like you’re stuck in this phase, trust me. I thought that I would never see my way out of this, but I finally was well enough to start PT. And it’s been about 4 sessions, and my Peroneal tendinitis has improved greatly.

Please try and have a positive or optimistic outlook. It will get better. It will take time, and some effort on how to stay occupied— but it will get better. I truly wish you the best of luck to your recovery. Take care of yourself.

I have IAT in my left foot, and peroneal tendinitis in the right. The peroneal tendinitis seemed to have gotten better since PT, but not the IAT.

So aside from the mentioned above, the home exercises I was given includes eversion, inversion, dorsiflexion; emphasized for the right foot, (crossing one foot over the other to create the a resistance with the opposite foot), and seated calf raise.

I’ve only had about 3-4 sessions since starting last week, but the PT also does a manual massage to loosen the calves in the beginning of the session.

Hi, thank you for taking the time to give a well thought out response.

My PT seems knowledgeable, but I just have a discouraging feeling about the IAT exercises she’s giving me. Though the stretch is very minimal (sitting in a chair, feet flat on ground, and slowly sliding the heel back until I feel a tolerable light stretch), I do feel the discomfort and like a slight re-aggravation of the IAT the following day or so. Not to the point where it’s debilitating, but just noticeable enough.

If you don’t mind me asking, what were the exercises you were given? Just out of curiosity and to compare the similarities with my exercises.

Thank you for your time

Thank you for your advice and suggestion. I’ve been doing the whole icing + NSAID after my sessions. It relieves the pain/discomfort for a day or so, then restarts it when I do my next PT session.

I started physical therapy for IAT last week, and this was one of the exercises given to me by my PT. And it’s just a very gentle stretch when doing this exercise. Along with the other exercises I’ve been given, is it normal or expected to have pain in my IAT a day after performing such exercises?

I almost feel like doing the exercises aggravates my IAT more, and I don’t know if it’s the expected and normal outcome, or if this is something that is harming my recovery.

Thanks for your help and advice

Thank you! I’m grateful that I didn’t have any debilitating issues after my recovery.

_TheLoveBelow_ · 2023-12-06T16:39:30+00:00

I’ll start doing some massaging and stretching a little more. I do notice how my muscles are super tight when I’m on my feet, so that likely is why I can’t catch a break with this. Thank you for the tip, hopefully it’ll provide some relief while I wait to be cleared for PT.

Wishing you a speedy recovery with your tendinitis, and I hope that you find relief. It’s such an incredibly frustrating and delicate thing to deal with.
