to PT or not to PT, that is the question ....

<p>MRI showed I've not got a torn ligament .... merely strained and tendonitis in my posterior tibeal tendon and something in the bottom of my footsie  ...  been in THE BOOT for a couple weeks so far ... </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am healing  ... and am VERY relieved no tear =  no surgery required   </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>what I don't know about is going to PT 2-3x/wk and wearing THE BOOT till they decide I don't need it  (prolly 2-3 more weeks) and not running for about another month ... hmmmmmmmmmmm</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>and much talk about orthotics comes from the lips of the PT lady  ....  motion control shoes hobble me w/i a couple miles - I cannot imagine orthotics  :-(</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>is PT for a non-surgical recovery really something people do?  Or just something a doc recommends to alieviate responsibility if things don't go so well after the initial visit?   I'm very torn on this and not wanting to waste time and money for something I think I  might be perfectly capable of dealing with in my own 'special' way  ...</p>

<p>what say the Peanut Gallery?</p>
