Ankle tendinitis, Chronic

I tweaked my ankle in 2010 doing a leap in dance class. It hurt but nothing terrible. Being young and dumb I just rested it. A few months later I would get pain driving if I wore non tennis shoes etc. I did some therapy for it but it didn’t help.

I finally mentioned it to the foot doctor when I was there for something else, and it feels to him there is a split in the muscle. I can kind of feel what he means because the other side doesn’t have it. It’s the front tendon.

Anyways, I’ve lived with it this long, but it’s currently very sore compared to usual due to lots of walking on bad surfaces. Has anyone had some relief with a shot?
