I have this problem quiet a while, but got it very lately. So I started to follow your advices. This is my problem. I stand all day long to work( more than 12 hours).I work from home. I want to know whether Birkenstock sandals are good for long standing work. Do you think I got this side pain because I wore Birkenstocks sandals. I want to find out a good working pair as nothing is available. I want to wear open toes one, as I have ingrown toe nail,only in big toe. Please advice.

I got peroneus longus injured 4 weeks ago while running barefoot on a threadmill(now i know that is not a good idea,it was an experiment gone wrong xD). I can do all movements-no pain,even squats,deadlifts,calf raises,extensions, but running outside,or on threadmills reawakes the pain,and the pain persist the next day,and goes away. I really hope it will heal in 6 weeks on it's own.

I have been a dental hygienist for 40 years and working the rheostat pedal all those years has caused debilitating pain on the outside bottom of my foot. You have given me better understanding that it is probably not plantar fasciitis.

[@anneliolsson31]

👍

[@OneShotww]

I was able to self diagnose my issue as Peroneal Tendonitis with your videos. I'm not in a lot of pain, just once in awhile. I turned my foot to the side when I was hiking, put foot down at a step and it rolled a bit. When I got home from this trip, I found your videos and figured out what my issue was. Don't laugh......... but I have a heavy marble rolling pin that does an excellent massage job on the tendon so that's what I use. It really helps when I remember to do it.

[@Manos-de-Piedra]

Best video by far for injuries like this

[@mariaa.7624]

I appreciate a lot the fact of getting into the peroneal longus vs. brevis difference. No website I've checked mentions those details and I find it so important so we can understand the pain and what's actually hurting in there. My pain in the peroneal area has been there since before 2018 and it comes and goes depending on if I warm up before exercising or not, so probably it has to do something with a past injury, tendinosis and scar tissue. I hope the stretches and the frozen water bottle thing help me, the pain started yesterday after a power walking session and now walking is uncomfortable. It usually resolves within a few days but I can't wait that much this time.

[@christophe1333]

I've got a peroneal tendonitis. It came somehow sudenly when I stepped on a hidden rock during my trail running. I thought it would go away after a few days rest, but now I've got it for approx. 4 weeks, and it really hurts after 3-4 miles. I made a mistake running a 20K 1000MT+ past sunday, and finished in real pain. The MRI confirmed the tendonitis. Thx for the explanations, it helps to understand why it hurts and how I can try to speed up the healing.

[@KataleyaK]

Very well explained. I was anxious to know when I can start feeling better. Now I know that I'll have to be patient and continue doing the exercises that my physio has advised for at least 6 months. Thanks.

[@DANGitsJordon]

loved the video man. I was suffering from peroneal tendonitis for months before i visited a PT and finally got the proper diagnosis. A vital part of the rehabilitation process is the education behind an injury, and then doing the exercises and stretches to treat it. my injury has definitely gotten better, but there have been times where the injury has returned here and there. I will continue to stretch everyday with these exercises. the PT i went to shared similar exercises as the ones in your video. flexible loose hips, good ankle mobility, loose calf muscles - all super important in treating peroneal tendonitis

[@prathamsingh-in3eo]

how are u now brother ?

[@sisangel77]

Thank you so much for this very informative video. I was in a major car wreck Dec. 31st of 1998. I have 2 metal plates attaching the left side pelvic bone to my sacrum. The dr told me it would be 9 months to a year, if ever, that i would walk again. I was in every kind of therapy you can imagine for 6 months and I took my first steps after 4 months. So that was all 25 years ago and I have been good all these years. Until now that is. I started having sciatic pain going down my right leg and after having x-rays my dr sent me to pt. Which has been great except for the fact that all of a sudden my left foot is swollen and painful. After watching several videos on kt taping, I came to realize, it's not my ankle, it's below the ankle and underneath my foot. The pain responds very well to ice and stretching, along with kt taping. You nailed it with your video. I now know exactly what's going on in there and exactly how to fix it. Once again, thank you so much. God bless. ❤ 13:57

I have struggled with this excruciating pain on the absolute outside of my left foot for months. If only I'd have been in MICHIGAN a few months ago. Hmmmmm. I just saw this video last night, rolled my foot on a green plastic ball with the little spikes on it while watching these videos and then iced my foot. I woke up up this morning a new person! OMG! I'm mobile again and 10% pain now, which I really should say tenderness, because I pressed that ball deep in that meaty area you spoke of and I could feel the release of the tension. It felt like I had broken glass in my foot! Miracle. I will not be going back to my foot doctor. If I need one I will drive the 7 or 8 hours to Michigan. THANK YOU DOC!!!!

I found this video after looking at your page on wearing a walking boot. My doctor didn't tell me half of what your page has said. He just put me in a boot and expected it to get better. I didn't know I should still be wearing my orthotic, or staying off the foot. I went back to walking around as much as before and my tendonitis pain got worse. As to how I injured mine, I sprained my foot a few months back and didn't give it enough time to heal.

I hurt my peroneal muscle/nerve in 2013. It popped while I was doing Tia Chi. It was due to heavy metal poisoning. From 2013-2015 almost all muscles shut down and cartilage dehydrated. I've been doing chelation since mid 2016. I done spinal rehydration therapy. Ligaments and tendons still tight. I was bit by a spider and it set up cellulitis as the area leg healed the ankle and leg swollen. They diagnosed lymphadema. Been wearing sleeves and self massages since the pandemic hit. Tightness and pain is from lower back alway to heal. Thank you for this since finding your videos I now know what's wrong and can target this area. I've been getting less swelling and more looseness since doing your exercises (2 wks). I probably have a long way to go but the others doctors never even mentioned the peroneal at all. But now I can say to them it's peroneal problem to get targeted help.

[@chaazyasharal7037]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've been suffering for almost a year since I sprained my ankle in a fall. I kept telling my PT that my ankle and left side of foot hurt so bad when I turned it out. Your video explained it all. My pain sounds like I have Peroneal Brevis and Tendinosis. I even heard the clicking in my left ankle that sounds like Subluxing Tendonitis. I pray I don't need surgery! Now the boot even hurts. I limp when I walk now. I'm going to make an appt with the foot Doctor this week I can't take it anymore.

I'm a male athlete. 67 yrs old. Running. Weigh Training. Pickleball. Never had known foot problems until this past year. First was Great Toe pain. Diagnosed w/ severe arthritis & hallux limitus. Second was a peroneal longus rupture after overreaching in competitive pickleball match. The pain was not horrible at first. Symptoms, over time, were primarily the lack of a sense of 'happy fee'. What I mean is that I felt dis-incentive to run, jump rope, work out. MRI showed complete rupture. A 'snap' at the 1st metatarsal. I was surprised because the pain in my foot did not feel sharp. What I felt, primarily, was 'heat' along the right, outside of my right foot. I have custom orthotics. Great shoes. Surgeon said that surgery was not an option; not needed because my arch is naturally high. I was in a boot for a while. Didn't feel necessary. I am currently walking w/o difficulty. Not running. Not playing pickleball. I tell you all this because I'm curious if this sounds weird to you. Eversion is fine on right foot. However, pounding it w/ running & playing pickleball is uncomfortable. Is it strange that I don't feel terrible pain in the foot? Any thoughts on what you read?

Ugh! Current diagnosis of small Peroneus Brevus & Longus tears, but no clue what's causing to be such a long term problem.

[@DrTomBiernacki]

You are a great fan, and we appreciate you, Astro Ken! I have always found a good shoe/home shoe, insole, and lace-up ankle brace to fix this problem. This can allow function while protecting the motion until 1,2 or 3 months after healing. Generally, this repetitive damage happens due to an underlying biomechanical imbalance that could be evaluated and corrected. But always get evaluated further if worried!

Ten years ago I twisted my ankle and wore an air boot for a while. It got better and forgot about it until two years ago when I started having pain right above my ankle.

The pain takes my breath away, especially, when I stand in place. I don’t feel heard at all. I just had an ultrasound to rule out blood clots and an X-ray, and Next week, an MRI to rule out nerve impingement. I keep telling them, it’s from my foot/ankle, and not from my back. Everything you said makes total sense to me. I’m going to share your video with my dr, and see what happens.

Mine started as a side effect of having plantar fasciitis , as if plantar fasciitis wasn't enough.

Not sure exactly when I injured my peroneal tendon but did hear the popping twice. Appreciate the information and off to a foot and ankle specialist

[@AngelRose-z4g]

I love the excitement 😀 a guy who loves his job you can tell!

[@noncompliance4100]

Don't even know how I injured mine. Perhaps a very slight ankle roll? It's been a nagging discomfort for about 3 months but I thought it was just an associated symptom of my Plantar Fasciitis. However this evening while out at a restaurant stood up and found I couldn't put my weight on my left foot without severe discomfort. Hobbled home and been researching since. bottle in the freezer and ordering a roller massager now. Thanks.

[@kassidyferris6630]

THANK YOU .. USING ICE DAILY.. 🙏🏾💯💯

[@zoezee5420]

Honestly its great to know how all your muscles work together and reduce the strain off that tendon.. i had a foot fracture on the left and a sprain on the right. Both feet have healed, but now all of a sudden, im getting this pain on the right outer ankle. I didn't have any sudden movements or anything, so i suspect it's the peroneal tendon straining.. i really hope it's nothing serious, but maybe all my muscles are stiff, and the peroneal tendon took most of the burden when i started practising walking again. 😢 Now its painful to step on..

[@arsalanhajizadeh7879]

Will it help the poping sound?

[@itsbithorse]

After a lot of research I think I have all these issues, pain in my Paroneal, clicking on the tendon. I did it from spraining my ankle. Have been having physio for months and not getting better, they have diagnosed me with weakness in my ankle and haven't focused on the Paroneal

[@mariaperalta340]

I hurt mine skiing! My Dr. told me I should do everything in this video but you definitely explained it better! Dr. also said to "let the pain guide me" when doing other activities (walking, climbing, running). Do you have any thoughts on that advice? Thanks for the great video :)

[@lilyjoselle0208]

Question. Ive been having pain in the side of my ankle for about a month now, and just discovered a couple days ago that its probably tendonitis. I run a lot everyday and the pain is at its worst after my run/workout. Im only 15 and the pain has spread up the back of my calf a bit and to the back of my knee. It hurts when i move it a certain way to put a certain amount of pressure on it. Any idea of how long it will take to heal? Ik u said 2-6 weeks but ive only been having this problem for a month now and im going to stop running for awhile. Also, when do u think i can get back to running, even if its not completely healed? If thats possible. Im also wearing a brace and using an icepack when i can

[@user121304]

Thanks ! What’s the roller you were using in the beginning ? Please attach a link to it.

This video is better then all my doctors, physiotherapy etc I fell off the stairs and tore mine along with the cfl and something else lol it's been a 1.5 years now and it's only 80/85% it's taking forever and I feel like it's never going to heal 😥 I will try these tips and see

[@marconopolo5723]

Man this is exactly what I was looking for. I fractured my talus, had surgery, had my cast removed. Currently getting my movement back. It's progressing pretty well, I do exercises like at least 6x a day but I noticed that that part of my leg(peroneal tendon) was so tight and I didn't know why. I fractured my foot with the same mechanism you'd sprain your ankle. I'm sure I sprained it so bad since it went as far as to fracture my talus.

[@ChompaChewy2]

Did you get the talus replaced? How is it now?

[@marconopolo5723]

@@ChompaChewy2 no talus replacement. It healed nicely. My lateral movement still isn't the best. Probably at 80% of what it used to be but I've gone on hard 30 minute runs no problem and also doing activities like judo and jiu jitsu at 100%. No problems 👍🏽 When it rains, it does ache and I have to stretch but once it passes, it's back to normal. I'd say a year and half later, it's about 90% of what it used to be in terms of flexibility. I'm active and try to stay active and that helps a ton.

[@katieholland4987]

Thank you! My peroneus brevis was sore from running (I’ve been getting injury after injury because I dislocated my ankle 8 years ago and I just started running last year). I was having trouble using a foam roller on the Peroneus brevis. You showed using a small massage roller. I just used my mop handle-it works great! And I can easily massage other leg muscles!

[@hrnoorr6480]

any improvement? beacuse im in same situation? any tips? 🙏

3 weeks out from my first marathon, ran a 30km training run and ended up with this injury. hoping that I can work on it using these tips and get ready for race day 🤞🤞

Does performing heel drops irritate the peroneal tendon? How about vibration therapy? Thanks for an informative video.

[@virginiaowen5086]

Thank you! Mine just kinda showed up a couple days ago and I'm hobbling around. I'm not wearing good shoes and walking a lot so I'm heading out this weekend to get better shoes with an insert and taking a rest from my walks for a few days and I'm crossing my fingers that I'll be feeling better. I'm gonna do the icing and stretching now too.

[@mbarb54]

Thanks for the good information in your video. I've had metatarsalgia in my R foot for 1.5 years. That pain has mostly subsided but the fat pad has shifted forward causing me to feel a puffy, swollen like sensation when my R bare foot hits the floor. During this 1.5 years, I've been wearing stable shoes e.g., Brooks ghost, adrenaline along with both custom orthotics and Powerstep with metpads. Now I have developed Tendonitits of the Peroneus Brevis in the opposite L foot with pain mostly at the insertion area of the 5th metatarsal. I have NO idea how this came about. It has been gradual. It. has been bad enough with the R foot metatarsalgia and now a more painful and difficult issue with the left foot. I'll give your suggestions a try as the Podiatrist that diagnosed the tendonitis provided only minimal information.

[@TagalogMinute]

[@jazzmoon77]

Not 100% sure it’s this same tendon but I definitely have a partial tear in both a tendon and ligament in that area. Confirmed by X-ray and ultrasound. I think it happened because I tried jogging intervals about 4 months ago. No accident, just from stress of running. Likely because I have hypermobile ehlers danlos syndrome. Spontaneous injuries and slow repairs. I’ve accumulated a few injuries to both my feet and ankles over the years so it’s probably wise to start doing this care routinely

[@jeremygowing5336]

Thank you for your amazing videos. I've been suffering with night time foot pain after an ATFL ankle sprain about 5 years ago. The pain is triggered when I try to sleep at night The top of my foot aches from the ATFL area down the foot and my peroneus and other ankle muscles tighten up. I've been to 3 physiotherapists who told me there's no problem with function and ultrasound and MRI have come back clear. I can walk and run without any problem as well. Massaging and ice help calm it down and your videos have certainly helped me reduce the symptoms. If there are any other areas or videos you suggest I should look at I would be very grateful. Thanks

Thanks for all the information . ❤️

[@lesteve3]

I'm not a professional, just a hiker and trail runner that has delt with minor foot problems for most of my adult life. Overall i thought this was good information, except i cringe when i hear people talk about orthodontics and braces and don't discuss that they are temporary tools. In my opinion stretching and strengthing sould be used to return the foot, legs, and hips to functional foundation.

[@UtahHomes4us]

so glad I found this video as I ice my foot. I think I hurt myself 8 months ago trying to water ski and foot hasn't been the same. I didn't get up on the skis either. 250 lbs doesnt come out of water as quick as when young and 190 lbs. my left foot is starting to turn out to outside. Just got some KT tape. 3 weeks ago it seemed I had morton neuroma and an extra pad in shoe ended that pain. (Thankfully). Unfortuneately, foot is starting to ache a lot after a nights sleep

My perineal tendons got all stretched out by ubtreated ankle sprains when I was a kid (“Just walk it off!”) At 57, I had my ankle replaced and the surgeon tightened the tendons while he was at it. 10 months later, I am in good, wide shes with a heel insole, or in Crocs. I sold all my designer shoes 👠. The bone and muscle recovered fast, but the poor tendons are alot slower. Stretch and do my exercises, I lift weights at the gym and finally my aerobics capacity is a bigger obstacle than my ankle pain. I am glad I had the ankle done, but it sure is taking a long time. I still have trouble with dynamic loading. The achilles is almost fully recovered but the perineal tendons are smaller and their rehab takes mindful care. I do a cold/ice bath in the mornings and use the tub just for my foot as needed. The biggest challenge: remembering to slow down when I am having good foot day, so I don’t suffer a setback. Your roll massager is a good idea. I will try that (I am usinf hard rubbing balls now.)

[@AllisonTitcomb]

Did an abrupt about face and inadvertently had my forefoot planted on a rubber strip so it didn’t pivot the way I expected. Ouch. And it got worse over time. Did PT that helped (and this was years ago) but it’s still tweaky. Thanks for the reminders! Still need all this for it.
