<p>I would go...I've been twice for a similar issue (had to go back the second time cause I didn't go long enough the first time and didn't do my "homework" like I should have). it's a complete pain in the ass since you have to go 2-3 times/week but worth the risk of the injury getting worse. the key is finding a place you like and a PT who knows their shit. </p>
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>
