heel problem

[wutti]

hi there!!
to be honest, if you would find a good, well experienced sportsphysio that could be enough. its hard to say anything more about your problem, because this area is such a complex region with lots of small muscles as well as muscle tendons from lower leg area. also a lot of nerv tissue around, fascia and aponeurosis etc. also it is really important to c u weight bearing because the arch of foot and tho whole biomechanics are so important and can cause hundred of problems. so my advice would be forget about mri and injection(would only reduce problems for a short period of time) and try to find a good sportsphysio how has the time to sort things out. if that doesnt work out you can still do the mri etc.
all the best!!

Hi,

Thanks for the extra info.

I would certainly get in to see a good physio who is experienced with your problem. It is too hard to guess from 1/2 way around the world what is wrong with you! Also, a non-qualified physio is simply not good enough for your injury - a simple ankle sprain maybe but not this (no offence to the physio student in question of course!)

Maybe Physiobase has some good ideas about who you can see up there???

MRI either way doesn't matter but i you want to save the money, I'd wait.

Cortisone has a catabolic effect - that is, it eats tissue (which is good for scars you don't want but not for good tissue!) which is why you may have been worse after it!

Let us know how you get on...
