Developed Bursitis. Started Feeling Discomfort In Achilles Tendon After Using Night Splint. Any Relief?
Question: i have a lump on the instep of my left foot, i also have a spur on the heel, from which i developed bursitis. That issue was taken care of with physical therapy and using a walking boot for a couple of months, my achilles tendon does bother me at times and when does i use my night splint. I tried using the splint for the instep pain but it makes it worse. I am planning on seeing my podiatrist about this but am wondering of there is anything i can do in the mean time
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
After reading your symptoms I feel that till you visit your doctor you can do the following:
- Hot foamentation twice daily for a week/till you visit the doctor
- Mild analgesics (pain killers)
- Physiotherapy to improve the existing condition.
Hope this helps.
Regards
