What can i do to relieve pain from a slightly torn tendon in my foot that only flairs up once in a while?

Torn tendon: First, get under the care of an orthopedic surgeon, if you haven't done so, for advice and follow-up. You want to avoid further damage and chronic problems. Find out about limitations on your activities. Do you need a brace? Tylenol and/or ibuprofen or naproxen can relieve pain and inflammation. Eventual physical therapy must be sanctioned and prescribed by the orthopedic surgeon.
