Yes: You will need to allow your tendon to heal and the best way to do this is to immobilize it in a walking boot.  See a Podiatrist for evaluation for boot fitting.  I hope this helps.

Question 7

how do i exercise with achilles and peroneal tendonitis?

Accepted Answer

Limit to upper body: Limit your workouts to upper body using machines or bench exercises. Even an elliptical will delay your healing. No treadmill, running, walking and especially no hills!

Question 8

how do i know if i'm experiencing achilles and / or peroneal tendonitis?

Accepted Answer

Area of Pain: In achillis tendonitis the pain is in the back of the heel usuall near the area where the achillis tendon inserts into the  calcaneous or heel bone. Peronial tendonitis is on the lateral side (outside) of the foot.  The pain can feel like it is from the lateral side of the ankle, and can radiate up from the ankle, or down the lateral side of the foot.

Question 9

difference between peroneal tendonitis and peroneal sublaxtion? symptoms? treatments?

Accepted Answer

Tightness/snapping: With tendinitis there is tightness especially after rest. With subluxation there is often a snapping or popping sensation as the tendon moves out of place.

Question 10

how long does it take for peroneal tendonitis to heal? i had pretty bad pain, it got better with pt, and now it feels irritated again...

Accepted Answer

Varies: Unfortunately, there is no real answer to your question as everyone "heals" at a different rate.  You likely need continued treatment if you remain symptomatic.
