I am being treated for possible severe tendonitis or possible torn tendon. My doctor has put me in a boot cast for 5 weeks. My question is has anyone been through this before and if so what kind of symptoms did you have with tendonitis. I am concerned b/c most of the symptom lists I have seen talk @ pain in the heel or back of ankle. Most of my pain is on the upper side of my foot. I am concerned that the doctor is putting off an mri to see if this boot cast helps at all for another 5 weeks. I failed to have any change with a trial of steroids. Also any advice on wearing the cast comfortably would be helpful as well. I am having difficulty b/c of the heighth difference it causes with my other leg. I already have pretty severe knee and back problems.
