Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these disturbing symptoms that you have reported. I hope treatment would be able to help relief these symptoms.

Insertional tendinopathy is a condition that affects the tendons at the point where they meet with the bones. Unfortunately, there is no one time magical cure for this but rather a longterm control of symptoms. This consists in using pain medications like Ibuprofen, diclofenac, Tylenol, etc., Physical therapy, Ice or heat packs, regular gentle exercises, etc. These measures would help control the pains. Treatment evaluation would help to guide and orient future management options and modifications.This condition can cause pain the moves to other areas of the body depending on the exact structures and nerves affected. This could be why you also have back pain.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
