Foot Problems

Hunter started cross country in August. Notice there haven't been any posts about his meets. Poor guy didn't make it past the beginning of September. He was at practice one day feeling good then his left foot began to really hurt. He iced it, took ibuprofen and rested it.
We finally headed to the doctor's because it wasn't getting better. The diagnosis was pulled tibial posterior tendon. The treatment rest and ibuprofen and being told it could take up to a month to heal.
It wasn't getting better after 3-4 weeks. Hunter headed back into the doctor's for a recheck. It was then decided that Hunter needed to see a podiatrist.
Yesterday was the day finally. 

Hunter was told that yes it was a pulled tibial posterior tendon. And his feet were super flat. Hence the reason for the pulled tendon. 

Hunter gets to wear the boot for two weeks. Then orthotic insoles. 

It's fixable, thankfully!
Hunter says the boot actually makes his foot feel so much better. He is bummed that he can't go swimming with his cousin Charlie after school for a couple of weeks. He thinks the time will fly by. He is such a great kid!
