I have chronic peroneal tendonitis in my left foot. It has been very much aggravated since I hurt my back last year and had some weakness in that foot which allowed super over supination (my term since I already over supinate:lol:). It was some better until I had surgery for the bulging disc and the surgeon wanted me walking 2-3 miles per day which I dutifully did. Now it is really bad.
I don’t think there is any surgery that will fix it. I am having trouble getting an appointment with the foot surgeon. The one that did surgery on the same tendons (both torn) in my other foot is semi-retired and I am having a hell of a time as the receptionist keeps wanting to give me an appointment with the podiatrist in that office. Just NO! There are 2 other ortho foot surgeons and I would see either one of them. She said Dr. Coughlin (the semi-retired one) has no appointments for the rest of this YEAR (granted not that long but it would probably be February).
I was wondering if anyone has had PRP done. I am ready to give it a try. I guess I am not knowing where to start in searching out a practioner that can do it. From my research, it does help a fair percentage of people with this problem. It is most frustrating. I get one thing fixed (the back is doing well) and another one pops up. I can barely tolerate to hobble around (in my cam boot) at at the barn on the uneven ground. That really has me frustrated:grief:.
TIA
