[QUOTE="Boone Caudill, post: 384721, member: 5267"] I've suffered ankle and foot pain on the left side for the better part of three years. Felt like a sprained ankle mostly, but the pain would move around the foot area. It's been very painful. I also rolled my ankles a lot hunting and such. I also suffered a lot of plantar fascitus in my 20's. After several visits to the doc, I got an MRI. Ends up it wasn't a sprain, but a completely torn tibialis posterior tendon. Surgical repairs have not been successful with others in the past. Treatment is either a Arizona brace that completed immobilizes the foot and ankle, or fusing of certain bones in the foot and ankle. Both options serve to stabilize the bones in the foot that are unstable because of the tendon tear. I have the brace - it's hard, clunky, and essentially turns your foot into a flat foot. Maybe the ankle rolling on mountainsides, badger holes, and plantar fascitus caused all this - maybe not. Maybe it's my tractor-ass. So, your pain on the top of the foot is very familiar to me............ my advice would be to get a podiatrist to look at your issues closely, and if treatment doesn't work - get that MRI. I'm wishing I would have done it sooner instead of tough-guying it the past three years. Maybe I would still have that functioning tendon and not have to go clomp-clomp every time I jump from the boat onto a dock. Damn near went straight into the water at the DWC this summer because of it..........:) [/QUOTE]
