Thank you for the add.
Long story...
Injured my foot 6 years ago. It just started hurting severely one night. Went to the emergency room and they didn't see anything. Pain was off and on for 6 years with no explanations from doctors. A cyst started forming over my peroneal brevis tendon. Finally, the pain got so bad in Sept, we decided to remove the cyst. when the doctor opened me up, he realized that my peroneal brevis tendon was torn!! extremely frustrating given the fact that this never showed up on the MRI or ultrasound. Anyhow, he repaired it and removed the cyst. He sent me home in a walking shoe that he had me wear for 2 weeks. The recovery has been okayish. But I started having bad pain again about a month ago and a new cyst has formed right over my peroneal brevis tendon. A new MRI indicated that in fact there was a 6 mm ganglion cyst and tendonitis!!! I'm only 3 months post-op. The pain feels exactly how it did before my surgery, but at least the tendon has not retorn. Going to see my doctor in a couple of weeks to discuss options. I'm definitely not going under the knife again. I was thinking about getting some better shoes, starting physical therapy and having the doctor aspirate my cyst.🤷 And if it continues, I'm considering PRP injections. I'm very frustrated and disappointed. Just looking for others who have experienced similar.
