A member asked:

What does this mean that i need an arch support to allow tendon to heal in my feet??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Without the arch: Support you are likely putting too much strain on the particular tendon you are referring too. The arch support holds up the foot so that the tendon is no longer overworked or strained.

Its regarding my feet, the area where the heal slopes into the rest of mt foot feels bruised and it feels like the tendon pulls tight if I don't walk for a while. Getting up in the morning is incredibly uncomfortable.

A member asked:

What do I do to help heal my injury? I believe it's a pulled tendon in my foot that's between my big toe and my ankle. I can't move my big toe up without pain, its slightly bruised and hurts to move. I'm an athlete, want to make sure its not serious.
