I have been seeing a physical therapist after a consult with an orthopedic specialist since July. I am on an anti-inflammatory and using a CBD ointment per the advice and prescription of my physician. I have no complaints about my care, but am wondering if this will ever resolve. I also have an ankle brace. Any wisdom or concurrence. I’m an impatient 74 year old only child…

Well...I too am impatient (at my best) and waiting for pains to heal might be one of my hardest things to do.

Did the doc give you any stretching or exercises to do daily? Also, what have they said about footwear? When I had it, I learned to wear proper, supportive shoes ALL day. I now have separate walking shoes for in the house and outside instead of running around barefoot all day.
It took 6 months for mine to go away.
