But th...I'm so sorry to hear about your injury. But thank you for the suggestions as well. Indeed, it might have shocked your feet after converting into barefoot running so quickly. Running shoes give the right amount of protection and stability to your feet and tendons to avoid you twisting or overworking them too much. And so transitioning into barefoot running too soon have caused your injury because your feet muscles haven't really gotten used to that kind of strenuous activity. Get well soon! <br /><br /><a href="http://www.ushealthworks.com/Sunnyvale-Center.html" rel="nofollow">Mika Clary</a> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309973569143554195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307559878705222621.post-88095451378060030432014-01-04T05:12:09.883-05:002014-01-04T05:12:09.883-05:00You can run after fixation as you explained.

I though I had stress fractures for a while, and although I haven't had xrays, it seems that extensor tendonitis is the problem.

Finally resting from running and trying to stretch, ice, massage etc. It's always just achy and annoying. Going CRAZY not running, will probably try to do short runs in the coming weeks.

From what I understand, you're exactly right about ice not helping inflammation in the tendon. The ice seemed to be a little bit more for my own comfort, rather than to reduce inflammation. For whatever reason I was able to pinpoint the injured section of the tendon much better massaging with an ice cube, as opposed to massaging without.<br /><br />Congratulations on qualifying for Boston! That's a great feat to accomplish for any runner. Be careful about doing too much too soon Steve, and try to listen to your body, not your runner's ego! :-) I think I delayed my recovery time quite a bit by trying to convince myself that I was okay to run when I was clearly still injured.<br /><br />Happy Running!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05891267304925353492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307559878705222621.post-64452694599380576032013-06-08T04:45:58.330-04:002013-06-08T04:45:58.330-04:00Thanks for reading Adrienne! I would have to agre...Thanks for reading Adrienne! I would have to agree with Paul, and I would stick with light stretching at first to keep your mobility. In my experience, it seems that light activity, that doesn't cause any pain, helps to promote healing in your muscles and tendons. Do your best to try and listen to your body and let that guide how much you try to do. I've read that tendon damage can take up to 6 months or more to completely heal, so prepare yourself for a long road to recovery. That doesn't mean you can't do anything for 6 months, but it may be 6-9 months before you're back to 100%.<br /><br />I didn't wear any types of braces, and I don't really see how an ankle brace could help with extensor tendonitis. I did switch to an old pair of running shoes for walking around in, and I also placed a couple pieces of medical gauze under the insole of my shoe beneath my forefoot. This extra cushioning seemed to help reduce the impact of walking a bit, but be sure that your shoe doesn't fit too tightly as a result because the added pressure on top of your foot could aggravate the injury. I read that braces for plantar fasciitis have helped some people; however, I have never used one.<br /><br />Good luck in your recovery Adrienne!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05891267304925353492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307559878705222621.post-82042218437976295472013-06-03T23:05:58.006-04:002013-06-03T23:05:58.006-04:00Hi. Great post, thanks.
I'm two weeks and tw...Hi. Great post, thanks.<br /><br />I'm two weeks and two days into this injury -- very frustrating. My sports doc did put me into an Air Cast, which I used for three days until I couldn't stand it anymore. The x-ray came back negative for a stress fracture; the reason he put me in the Air Cast was because of how much difficulty I was having walking. That's gotten better, but far from perfect.<br /><br />I fear I have tendinosis (damage to tendon) instead of tendinisis (inflamed tendons). The main difference, as I understand it, is the recovery time. Also, ice is useless, because tendinosis is not about inflammation but rather damaged tissue that needs to be regrown. Ouch! <br /><br />But maybe I'm wrong. The self-massage makes a huge difference. I've been able to run and swim without much difficulty. For that I'm thankful, and assuming I recover, I think I can come back even faster!<br /><br />It's just such a kick in the runner's ego. A few weeks ago, I was running Boston, where I BQ'd again, and then this ... wow. Very frustrating and concerning. I feel like an old man, hobbling around.<br /><br />Anyway ... thanks for the great advice!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15093744874236910161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307559878705222621.post-73742157336306515292013-05-29T11:42:31.955-04:002013-05-29T11:42:31.955-04:00Kirsten,

I have pain when walking (it's been about a week since the flare up) and am wondering how long it took you to get back to strengthening exercises. I am wondering how long to wait before I start rehabbing it. The last time I waited for a month and was so tight I only hurt it more, unknowingly. I am doing the calf stretches religiously though. Also is biking an issue for this tendon? Have you used a brace at all? My ortho recommended the McDavid lace up ankle brace to help it heal while still being able to walk. Hope to heal this completely and not have another flare up!! Best of luck to you!

I am not a pro runner but I run min of 2KMS per day. I went through different lab and xray tests, took different pain killers, seen by different doctors, and all... My tendonitis was completely healed after my stem cell therapy with ortho surgeon, Dr Grossman of Stem MD. He also recommended some exercises and stretching. As of today, I never had any problems with my tendons again and I'm hoping that the effect of stem cell would last longer. :) I wish you wellAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02894787956803598507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307559878705222621.post-76126654388790562902013-05-02T23:37:52.235-04:002013-05-02T23:37:52.235-04:00Hi Janelle!

I regularly took the dog for long, brisk walks during my recovery, and once I didn't feel any pain with a pack on I started hiking with my infant son in the backpack. I probably covered 12-20 miles per week walking/hiking while I couldn't run.<br /><br />I was never put in a boot/air-cast. From what I understand in talking with the sports podiatrist I saw, that is a treatment method for a stress-fracture, and not necessarily an inflammation of tendons. I've heard that the casts/braces made for plantar fasciitis can help to relieve the pressure on the extensor tendons, but I never actually wore one in my recovery.<br /><br />In my opinion, and keep in mind I'm not a doctor or podiatrist, just a runner, I try to stay out of anything completely immobilizing unless absolutely necessary. If I can't run, then I'll walk. If I can't walk, then I'll ride a bike. If I can't ride a bike, I'll find something I can do. Unless it's something that won't physically heal without being immobilized, I have faith in my body to repair itself as long as I'm not constantly aggravating the injury.<br /><br />All of that being said, if a doctor told you to wear the 'boot' then you should probably wear the boot, but don't be afraid to get a second opinion from another doctor, or maybe one that specializes in running or athletic injuries.<br /><br />I hope some of that helps, and good luck in your recovery Janelle.

They stretch me out & help prevent me from rolling along the outside edges of my feet.
