Hi all,
Has anyone else experienced tendonitis after OCD surgery (or particularly DeNovo)?
I am a little over 2 years out from DeNovo surgery 12/2014, which was my third surgery in 2 years. The talus itself feels great and I don't have the leg buckling pain that I used to. However, for pretty much a year and a half now, I have been experiencing (I think) tendon pain, stiffness, and weird vibrating/humming/tingling sensations. It is worse after being at rest for a while but when I am up and moving all day it tends to feel better.
My doctors have told me that it is due to weakness and if I get stronger the pain will resolve. However my PT is kind of limited by the pain. When I go up on my toes I feel a little crunching around my Achilles and I also feel a sharp shooting pain on what I think is my peroneal tendon down to under my foot. I also feel a little pain on the inside of my ankle, medial to my achilles. It started to feel better for a little bit but recently, I don't know whether it is a flare up or what, but it feels like it has gotten worse. I got an MRI a few months ago and they said the OCD looks great and is still completely filled in so I really don't think the surgery itself failed.
Is this in fact tendonitis? Could it possibly be a year that didn't show up on MRI? If so, what else could they do to diagnose?
Has anyone else experienced this? Is it resolvable?
