    I just had surgery on Friday for this condition. By all means speak to a podiatrist and do everything you can to avoid surgery but I am glad I had mine repaired. It is very painful. I am not allowed to walk on the foot at all for 3 months and am expected to wear a special boot for 3 months after. The key is to follow all doctors orders to the letter. If they say to stay off of it then stay off it. Lots of ice and physical therapy was very helpful. If you can’t stay off of it then have your doctor put in a cast so you can’t walk on it. I am serious about staying off of it. This is a debilitating injury and I will have a disability for the rest of my life because of it.

    never heard of it…

    i know that staying off of it can help a lot…. but you have to be careful with massage, injections and so on since it can so easily rupture…
