Dr. Donald Colantino answered

Peroneal tendinitis,: In my opinion, peroneal tendinitis of the foot is best handled by a pediatric specialist as he/she is an expert in diagnosis and treatment of foot disorders and the focus is 100% on all matters of the foot. If symptoms are atypical,an MRI or ultrasound may reveal other causes of the symptoms. Anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteroid injection, physical therapy,tendon release surgery are some
