Ths video is amazing. Thank you so much!! I have posterior impingment, I wish you make more videos on that.

[@mommieliz7829]

Good Video. Very informative 😀

[@chesstictacs3107]

Thank you doctor, great content! I’d love to see content on stress reaction and stress fracture on tibia and of course treatment options.

[@setharnold9764]

Such an excellent video. I'm surprised there wasn't something on the Achilles itself, though. Thanks

[@sivonparansun]

Really good video.

[@AndriiPruskyi]

Great job! Thank you. I have some concerns about occasional pain in specific areas of my foot, accompanied by frequent crunching, clicking, and other unpleasant sounds. I am 22 years old and experienced a tibial oblique fracture seven years ago. Currently, I have a slight medial angle and length discrepancy in my tibia.

Hi prof.I have a trimellioma fracture with dislocation and after a rough surgery I have pain in all these places.thank you for this as I now understand what is going on in there.

[@ryanchang6340]

Hello Dr, love your videos and was interested if the cyclic cartilage movement as mentioned in one of your previous videos for helping also applies to the elbows and what exercises you suggest may help strengthen that. Would an exercise like the elliptical help the knee and elbow at the same time? Thanks!

[@neelaprakaashd9436]

Thank you 😊

What a fantastic, concise video you have made available to us. Thank you so much for making it informative enough to matter, yet simple enough for an average layman suffering from occasional ankle pain. My only issue now is do I see my primary care physician or my orthopoedist? Or can I get an x-ray on my own and then see a doctor if there is an actual issue?

[@brianbanks3044]

great information...thank you...i have a feeling i had a tibular fracture 40 years ago that went untreated and now I have a protrusion on my ankle bone....I never got it x-rayed but did the RICE method and played through the pain....i never sprained my ankle as bad as I did then...my foot all the way up my shin was black and blue gut being 26 yrs old, I just kept on moving when I could

[@annstar2793]

[@grovestreetmember2648]

Thank you for this enlightening video! I had surgery about 8 weeks ago for an osteochondral lesion (OCL). The MRI report stated that it was "tiny" and a mere 2mm in size. My surgeon planned to debride it and then do the other part of the surgery, plantar fascia release. Upon visualization of the OCL, he measured it at 2 CM, ten times larger than the MRI showed. He debrided the damaged or defective cartilage and did 5 microfractures to try to create some fresh scar tissue to supplant the cartilage. I have since read/seen on another surgeon's ankle OCL video that "It should be noted that the radiographic and the arthroscopic findings do not always correlate." (Osteochondral Lesions Of The Talus - Everything You Need To Know - Dr. Nabil Ebraheim) This discrepancy was significant in my case and had the surgeon and I known beforehand how large the legion was, we might have planned for additional steps like stem cell placement. As it stands, I'm still in the lengthy recovery and walking in a boot until we determine whether the microfractures have succeeded and if not, whether I'll go directly to an ankle replacement.

How is it now?

[@flyeagle4301]

Why tiredness? How is it linked?

[@delanomcintosh591]

Hey I suffered an ankle injury approximately a year ago, a bus ran over my foot. It took me about two weeks before I could walk again there was still pain and discomfort but was happy to be able to walk normally again because the pain was really bad. Everything was good until Sunday was play football Americans would say soccer n got a knock on my same ankle. The pain is just like before, if it gets too cold it hurts. Would u recommend doing surgery on it? Based on your video I would’ve suffered a high ankle sprain

[@elizbeer]

What about retrocalcaneal bursitis???

[@flaneurable]

Riveting! Not sure what you mean by inflamatory measures.

[@setharnold9764]

I'm not a doctor. I assume this meant a common class of over the counter pain medication marked "NSAID", non-steroidal anti-informatory drugs. There might be better options by prescription but these are easily available, cheap, and safe (if you follow the directions).

Thanks for the video, Dr. Bellemans. What about issues like (insertional) Achilles Tendonitis or Haglund's deformity? Are you planning to create content about those as well?

[@kenflack7381]

What can it be
