Hi everyone!
I was back to the sports DR. with Corky earlier this week. Last year in May she was diagnosed with Sever's. We did physio for a few months things seemed to get better, ordered Tuli's cheetahs and even tried the Oscon.
In December things started acting up again and she was in more pain. Started physio again and did physio for 5 months. Physiotherapists recommended massage therapy so we also started that.
It seemed like Corky's pain had moved to a different spot so we went back to the Sports Clinic. The Dr. believes now that she has Achilles Tendonitis. He has prescribed her Naproxen to help get the inflammation down. He is saying we are doing all the right things for her treatment. He would however like to see do cross training one day a week instead of floor and vault. He suggests swimming or cycling.
I'm looking for info specific to gymnastics and others experiences with what works. I've done a bit of reading and from what I can tell she is in the muscular group that needs to keep her muscles stretched out. She is quite flexible however and the typical stretches don't give her a feeling of being stretched. Especially her feet. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your patience in reading this, I know it's a long winded one.
