Hi there,

So I've seen my physio and she has diagnosed that I have a tendinopathy of the peroneal tendon and has suggested some acute treatments before I head off to a dance festival for a week.

She mentioned that I may need to see a sports doctor to get a cortisone injection as she believes that the tendinopathy is due to chronic overuse and wearing high heals.

Can anyone suggest any other alternatives before considering cortisone? I know that cortisone can weaken the tendons but I can also see the benefits of it as I have considered a cortisone injection for my shoulder injury.

Advice muchly appreciated.

Angie
