What should i do for achilles tendinopathy?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
See specialist: Achilles tendonopathy is diagnosed clinically on exam and the type is confirmed by MRI (tendonosis +- partial tearing over degeneration). Treatment begins with resting the tendon, heel lift if mild or wearing a cam walker type boot with a heel lift for at least 1 month, this is followed by pt as tolerated. Platelet rich plasma injections (not steroid) have be recently used. Surgery if all fails.
