I've put a call into dd's sports med dr but no call back...and I'm concerned.
Back story, dd has complained of right heel pain off and on over the summer, finally pretty consistently for 2-3 weeks. We tried resting it, she has fabulous coaches that are very knowledgeable. She was doing constant "toe walking" on the hurt foot so we headed to the dr (pediatric sports medicine). He did X-rays, and decided she should be a in a boot for 3-4 weeks to completely immobilize her foot and give time for everything to calm down.
At her 3 week checkup, still in pain, still toe walking (she takes the boot off for showers/bed). Now her leg has woken her up 3-4 times per night with pain up to just above her knee.
Has anyone had experience with anything like this? She is now toe walking in the boot and keeps wincing out of nowhere...even when she is just sitting.
She has been in the gym on a strict conditioning only regimen since two weeks before the boot (going on 5 weeks). Strap bar, and core/arm strength only.
I'm calling the dr again Monday morning, just looking for any insight I can get before then.
Thanks!!
