A member asked:
What are the reasons why a cortisone injection wouldn't work for anterior tibial tendinitis? podiatrist offered it for condition lasting 1 1/2 yrs.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tendons receive a: poor blood supply and as such, take a long time to heal. You might want to inquire about a course of physical therapy, a period of immobilization or anti-inflammatory medication or a combination of all these. Another possibility is the diagnosis is incorrect and something else is going on.
