A Foot Ahead

I found out today that I have a longitudinal peroneal tendon tear in my left foot.  That means that instead of being torn like if you pull a rope it would snap in two, with my condition the strands of the tendon separate from the other strands.  I’ve been having pain since the end of June.  My doctor put me in a air cast boot and my pain went away and I weaned off the boot.  A few weeks ago I started having pain again and went back to the doctor.  The reason that it hasn’t healed is because I have tendinosis, meaning that the injury is not becoming inflamed and igniting healing.

The method of treatment is to make a small incision in the area of the foot that is injured and use a probe to send radio waves to “kick start” inflammation and begin the healing process.  I would have to be off of it for three weeks and then begin to be able to walk on it again in the boot.  It isn’t something I would need to do right away, giving Shawn and I time to pray about what we want to do.  Basically it comes down to how long I want to play the boot game.  I can go out of the boot and go back in when I have pain.

Please pray that Shawn and I would have wisdom in what we should do.
