Update on My Left Heel Pain

I have been through about 6 weeks of physical therapy on my achilles tendeon (left heel) to no avail.  I thought it was so much better last week but after running that 5K on Saturday it's been hurting again ever since.  I saw Dr. Redburn (podiatrist) again this afternoon.  She is putting me on a 6 day steroid (some form of prednisone) treatment starting tomorrow morning.  No running or stretching exercises for 2 weeks.  I am also supposed to ice it 2 or 3 times a day.  If it is not "significantly improved" by then we will do an MRI to see if there is something else going on in there that the x rays she took last month didn't show.  She said, "For one thing, I'm sure your something or other ligament in there is inflamed."  And then she pressed on a certain spot and sent me to the ceiling to prove she was right. Stay tuned.
