Posterior tibial tendonitis

[annaren]

I just wanted to thank you so so much for all your supportive replies. It really makes such a difference when you are feeling really anxiuos about variuos injuries. I have good hiking boots are am trying out my new asics trainers tonight. My podiatist advised me to get a pair and these are the ones the people in the runnig shop said too. They wont be so good for hiking but I have my boots for that. At least they are quite stiff across the middle and should support my arch (is that correct?). I also wanted to say that my foot doesnt hurt to point of flex, turn in or out or stand on my tip toes - all the normal symptoms on the web???
I see my podiatrist tomorrow so I will see what he says about my other foot.
Thanks so so so much again - if I lived near you I would def. come to your clinic!

P.S. I study ecology and my PhD is looking into ecological processes (predation and parasitism) in agroecosystems. I am going to Bialowieza in Poland on a week long field techniques course where we will be learning how to radiotrack animals, identify and survey bats, birds, small mammals etc. Also visit a bison reserve and if my foot is good a hike around the Bialowieza Forest. Sounds fun so hope foot behaves.

Good luck in Poland...very cool! (Although I'm glad I'm a physio...don't think I'd want to purposely find bats!!!)
