Today was my first day of therapy. I finally gave up with my ankle problem and went to the doctor. I have achilles tendonitis pretty bad - acute. I've been dealing with it on and off for about 4 years. I know - I'm stubborn.
Just a little background, I went to the doctor on Monday and was ok with the doctor. He was good and I like him. He pushed on my tendon and I jumped off the table. That was about it. That and some xrays indicated a pretty serious case of A.L. Oh well. At least I was not at risk for rupturing my tendon which was my biggest concern.
So back to today. I went to the therapy session and they used a gel with cortisone in it. The PT person pushed on my tendon and I jumped through the roof. They used the coritsone stuff with the ultrasound machine and my ankle felt the best it had in over four years. Wow that stuff rocks.
