Hey Aussie, Fresh is right..ultasound does work. As most have been saying, inflammation is the body's way of healing. Same as a scab. I get a wound, it heals over with a scab, underneath the scab it's healing. Basically, as you know, you've got an overuse injury that you've probably got in your posterior tibial tendon. This helps hold your foot arch and keeps you from rolling your foot too much. Are your symptions things like pain when you step (especially along the tendon), pain and swelling behind the inner ankle bone and burning,tingling or shooting pain in your foot? If that pertains to you then you've got inflammation in the nerve that surrounds the tendon and it hurts more when you walk, of course. If you go to the doctor, they'll ask you to stand on your toes and if this IS what you have you'll get intense pain and pressure on the arch of your foot. Ultrasound definitely wouledn't hurt, but I'd steer clear of the anti-inflammatories, cortizone, etc. They're going to make the problem worse. Ironcowboy touched on it, get an insole of some sort and keep it stretched out. Once you start taking care of it for a few weeks, the pain will decrease.
