Hi I tore and damaged the tendons on my left foot and boy does it hurt. What can I do to help it to heal faster? Walking is my only form of transportation and I have a dog I have to walk too. So it's always swollen. If you know how to help this foot of mine to heal faster please let me know thanks.

Order an sp walker air AirCast from betterbraces.com and wear it constantly for a month or so. Take it off only to shower. The air cast should be $84.99 but that's cheaper than a tendonopathy. Trust me. If you tore 1 wear it a week and about 3 days. If 2 wear it 3 weeks, and if you tore 3, wear it 5 weeks(that's what I had to do, so I know) and 4, wear it 2 months. Good luck!

You HAVE to stay off of your foot for at least two months, it is the only way it will heal right. I tore a tendon in my foot and tried to walk on it after a few days, and even though it hurt like hell, I still continued to walk on it. That was two years ago and my foot never healed right, it still hurts when I turn my foot a certain way. STAY OFF OF YOUR FOOT!

Tape your foot starting from the outside and pulling the tape under your foot and ending up on the inside. Start right behind the toes and work your way back to the heel. After you have about two rows on you foot lock it on by putting some tape around from one side of your foot around the heel to the other.

A shot glass of tart cherry juice with a dash of the spice's Turmeric and Cinnamon in some other strong juice would act as an inflamatory. You can find tart cherry juice in some health food stores and it is worth the cost. I would also take two supplements...gotu kola for reconnecting tissue and MSM as an anti-inflamatory and healing supplement.

you should go get it checked out by a doctor, see how torn it is, because if its completely torn that can result in injury, otherwise they'll wrap it up with a splint for a few weeks.
