After getting my CT scan results in December 2014 I was pleased to hear that the smallest of my fractures had now healed!
However I was still in a lot of pain and requested an ultra sound scan which would be the final investigation.
Last week, I found out that I do have Posterior Tibial Tendinitis. I also found out that I have a tear in this tendon which could benefit from being surgically repaired.
For the moment I have decided to continue exercising and working on my ankle through physiotherapy alone! I find the NHS ones I have been referred to, to be absolutely useless unfortunately!
In 6 months time I will review and if my pain, swelling and lack of flexibility continues then I will be going for a second surgery to investigate, repair the tendon and maybe have the screw in the inner side removed.
Best wishes to anyone out there! I hope that my short blog here has provided you with some form of answers to questions you may have had.
Hi Melissa. Just wondering how things went for you? I'm currently 3 months post op after a very similar injury and experiencing very little improvement. Looking for proof that things do improve eventually x
