Hi. I had surgery on a torn pt tendion back in October 2014. My foot is still swollen from it and I m still in a brace my dr has given mr anti inflammatory pills and now I m on a steroid to try to get the swelling down is this normal or should I have someone else look at it
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.  My opinion is that you should not worry about it now unless the diagnosis is confirmed. See you had injury long back in October 2014, so its almost 1 year completed but tendon takes more time to heal fully... see during healing phase of tendon, immobilization is very necessary, you have to take rest or that part you should not use or minimize use of that part via brace or splint... gradually swelling will reduce.
