I cannot express how helpful this video is. Thank you so much for the explanation. I am a Muay Thai practitioner for almost a decade. I believe it should be a pretty common thing in combative sports although I wasn’t able to find much research on this. I never had PAI before. When kicking the heavy bag, the kick would always land on my shin. Last year I switched to a new gym with new trainers who hold pads slightly differently. And I started to notice that more portion of my kicks would land on the back of my foot when it’s already tensely straightened. The force of the pad being pushed down on my foot literally causes the jam. At first, without knowing what it was, the symptom would just go away within a week or so. And over the past year it definitely aggravated in both my feet. Unfortunately, from where I am, I don’t really have easy access to medical examination, care and great doctors of this sort, and I have a competition coming up in 8 weeks. I’m trying my best to rehab myself, but I really don’t have much hope because it seems to be very reoccurring in training and hard to be completely avoided.

Best video on this that I’ve found by the way. Thank you very much for the breakdown and sharing all the up to date information with things like avoiding anti inflammatory meds and ice and injection and actually letting the body heal.
got this injury in sept 2022 after my heel slide through turf(wearing cleats) caused plantar flexion 3 times traumatically, just now is the pain finally gone. Spent over a year trying to fix it no luck, did physio(they gave me post tib tenonitis) did xray, ultrasound, mri and nothing showed up lmao. Most annoying inury ever man, gonna start soccer again soon
@@CMRSsmine is gone after a year and a half. My mistake was playing a whole season with it which made it worse and stay for so long. What rlly got rid of my pain was deep tissue massage on entire calf, up to back of the knee and ice. I can finally point my toe with no pain
@@ZantanaRamirez i mean I can point it perfectly but when I do excercises like tiptoe with kettlebells or like any exercises that involves tiptoeing, it’s like 50/50 of the time that I feel it hurts.
@@CMRSs yeah I would recommend doing what I say. Ur calf muscles are probably tight when flexing and pulls on ur ankle joint/tendon. Also what I I wish I knew earlier was using a electric shock therapy device. Helps a lot.
I think this is what I have as well. Injury occurred during high intensity plyometrics and sprint exercises in barefoot shoes. Sharp pain in the back of the heel / next to the Achilles but not Achilles. It’s been months now and I keep reaggrevating it by running and trying to get back to basketball and running I am ok most of the time and I can also do jump rope where I’m able to control the range of my foot plantar flexing but in basketball games when instincts kick in and I land hard on the heels at times or jump with full extension that’s when it hurts really bad. Very painful for about 30-60 seconds then sorta goes away. Very frustrating injury
Last year I aggravated what i felt was mt Achilles heel after wearing boots with a heel. With time of felt better but I just feel and sprained my ankle fairly badly. PT began today for the sprain and i realize i still have pain from last yeat with a tight ball of tissue. What would you recommend after my sprained ankle heals? Thank you 💜
Here's a video about treatment for Achilles tendonitis: th-cam.com/video/H1nfgU1amvg/w-d-xo.html But if you first want to make sure it is tendonitis - this video can help you diagnose and understand the condition better: th-cam.com/video/cNOxd3w37K0/w-d-xo.html
This video is great! Thank you! (retired pro dancer here... and I'm also a sports massage therapist). Can this kind of impingement occur and be felt more on the lateral side of the ankle rather than centered?
Hello! I am a ballet dancer and I have been having pain since the end of November and I saw doctor early December. He thought it was achilles tendinitis and had me take it easy, stretch, and ice for a month. I was still in pain when I went back to dance in January and I got an MRI done and confirmed it was posterior ankle impingement. I got a cortisone shot and was in a boot for two weeks. I just went back to dance this week and took it pretty easy by not going fully on my toes. I tried to go fully only once and it was extremely painful. I still feel the same pain in the same spot. Is my last option surgery?
The rehab plans that have been reported in the research to be successful for ballet dancers usually involve 12 weeks (3 months) of rehab before going back to dance. It does not sound as if you've ticked that box - being and a boot and getting an injection does not count as rehab. So, I don't think surgery is an option at this point - what you most likely need is a progressive rehab plan to prepare your ankle for dance.
@@marinbeekmanhey how is your injury now? Im a ballroomdancer and have had the same probleme with the pain coming back. Does your physical therapy help?
@@iantheys9723 hello! i got surgery this summer to remove that bone because i was still experiencing extreme pain and i would recommend it! the recovery process was super quick (2 weeks non weight bearing, 1 week boot, started walking normally after that). i have been doing physical therapy for 2 months which has helped me can get back into the swing of things. i have no problem now and can fully go back to normal pointe! physical therapy before surgery did nothing because regardless the bone and area was still pinching, but your situation might be different! but after 7 months of conservative treatment, i wanted to get back to normal and i wish i would have done surgery long ago because of how quick the surgery process was and the effectiveness!💕
Thank you for this very informative video! I have a question regarding posterior ankle impingement. Is it common for the pain to come on very acutely and sharply, but then subside quickly, leaving the ankle feeling almost normal until the next triggering movement? What could be causing this kind of intermittent pain?
What you describe is typical for a joint that has something that catches in certain positions - the pain is intense when it catches but as soon as you move it so it releases the pain subsides. It can be a loose body (small piece of bone or cartilage drifting) or it can be a little bone growth, or it can be a part of the joint capsule (soft tissue that holds the joint together) that folds in and catches.
I have this injury am 17 it all started when I rolled ma ankle 6 months ago in a basketball game after that my ankle healed from the sides but this injury didn’t now I can’t jump as high as I used to idk how much time it need to fully heal this injury makes me feel sad for losing athleticism

And what happens if it is in the dorsiflexion position when it is painful? I have been having pain in my right ankle for 5 years now. One minute I am okay, the next I feel like something is pinching my ankle. I can have the pain for an hour, a day or 48 hrs. The last time it happened (a week ago) it hurt for a week. Then suddenly I feel like a crack and then I can move normally, as if the pain never existed. However, it is not in the back part of the ankle. It is in my right side of the ankle. Sometimes it expands to the anterior, posterior and other side (left) of the ankle. It started after I healed from an injury. They have done mri, x-rays, scan, ultrasounds, etc., everything is normal. After months and years of physiotherapy nothing has change. They were not sure what it was for the past 5 years. They thought it was because of the injury. One dr. said it was tendinitis, and gave me some orthotics, but they only made it worse. Then my other dr. said it was because of my arch and change my old orthotics to arch support orthotics. After 5 weeks of using them without really helping, he changed his approach and said that in my mri (or in the x-ray) and said that it was an ankle impingement due to Stieda process. He said that he was going to consult with a colleague that is an ankle specialist, and that if the non-invasive treatments didn’t work, I might need an arthroscopy. He is still reviewing my case because he is not 100% sure if that is my diagnosis. What you explain here is the closest to what I compare my symptoms, however it is the dorsiflexion that it is painful, and it is not in the back of the ankle, but in my lateral side.
In fast bowlers in cricket it is also dorsiflexion that cause it - it has to do with in some people the joint slides back in that dorsiflexion and causes the impingement.
Hi I’ve had ankle pain since July last year and my podiatrist diagnosed it as being caused by a posterior heel spur. Without any physical activity, just physical therapy, it seems to feel better, but as soon as I cycle for a short time like under 10 miles and minimal effort, the pain comes back and I’m back to zero. I got a second opinion from an orthopedist and based on a preliminary X-ray, I have a more than normal protrusion on the back of the talus. Will be getting an MRI in a couple of days. What’s your thoughts?
It's difficult to advise without having an in depth conversation because it can be one of many things: 1. It can be that you're going back to cycling too quickly 2. It can be the position on the bike 3. But cycling usually don't cause trouble for impingement so it might be that your diagnosis is not correct 4. There may be other things to consider that I am not aware of.
- Minimal joint effusion in tibiotalar talocrural & talocalcaneal joint with T2W PDFS hyperintense signal within adjacent soft tissue in the region of talocalcaneal joint extending upto lateral aspect in the region of peroneus tendon, however no evidence of obvious capsular thickening in present scan. Prominent steida process with subtle PDFS hyperintensity within ? posterior Impingement. Minimal tenosynovial fluid along peroneus longus & brevis tendon below lateral malleolus ?tenosynovitis. Minimal T2W PDFS hyperintense signal within posterior talofibular ligament with intact fiber- likely grade I injury. This is my mri I m fast bowler ma'am could please help it's been 3 months what treatment should go steroid injection??
We can't comment on what the correct treatment options are for you because we've not assessed you. If you're not sure, get a second opinion from a doctor or physio who actually assesses you and understands your full circumstances and can make informed recommendations.
Do you think it’s possible I have this? Because plantar flexion obviously occurs when driving. I do Uber for a job and often driving long hours. The pain happens at the base of my heel. And when it happens the pain feels like someone is taking a hot poker and stabbing me in the back of the heel. Often times when it occurs it takes everything in me to not scream or cry. The pain lasts usually about 30-60 seconds. Then it goes away. Usually during that 30-60 seconds I’m literally squirming. Doing anything and everything I can to alleviate the pain. Stretching it. Moving it. Trying to adjust my seating to get more comfortable again. etc. During the 30-60 seconds the first 10 seconds or so is the stabbing pain. Then the rest of the 30-60 seconds it like radiates to the whole back of my heel. The back of heel I’m talking about is if your are wearing ankle converse. And the back of the heel the ankle converse covers. I have tried wearing different shoes. From Jordan’s. To runners shoes. To timberlands work boots. Flip flops. Uggs. I have tried it all I get no success at stopping the pain from occurring.
I have posterior impingement do too an ankle sprain it's been 6 weeks and too be honest i've been irritating it a littel bit but i hade non-steroidal and other medican and it still not getting better i really can't take it anymore i just want to return to my sport. What should i do what would you recommend?
It is really difficult to provide any useful advice other than what I already shared in the video without doing a full assessment and understanding your situation properly.

Hello I am a fast bowler and need your help with posterior ankle impingement. Now after 3 years I feel like it's not even posterior ankle impingement. How could I contact you
Im so confused about what I have all I know is its so painful its like a burning sensation in my heel/tendon area. My ankle bone has swelling and slightly swollen around my tendon and the inside of my ankle bone area. If anything even touches my heel/tendon area bc it causes pain it started very slowly over time...and now I can't even walk without crutches and so much pain! I've been elevating it but just from walking to the bathroom and back throughout the day by the time im ready for bed i can't find a comfortable position to lay my leg bc by bedtime the pain has radiated all the way up my calf ugh its so painful oh and i cant even wiggle my toes so sometimes my foot will tingle like it has fallen asleep it drives me nuts bc i cant wiggle my toes to help that tingling sensation any idea on what I have i appreciate any and all help
Hello! Is it common for this to come on not immediately after injury? I’m an LMT, and recently increased my workload 6 months post tri-malleolar fracture, and just recently started having discomfort in the lateral side of my ankle during plantar flexion, eversion and when pressing off when walking. I’m going back to my orthopedic soon to figure out what’s going on, but I wanted to try alleviate discomfort in the meantime
I don't know what LMT stands for but I am assuming it means you walk a lot? It sounds like you have likely irritated the outer joint - this can happen after fractures if: - your foot is in a poor posture when you walk = helped by supportive shoes and sometimes insoles - your foot strengthen was never properly restored after the fracture - you simply increased your weightbearing (standing + walking) too quickly (6 months is not a long time for a joint) and now it is overworked and sore
@@TreatMyAchilles Thank you for your response, I greatly appreciate it! LMT is short for licensed massage therapist. I recently upped my work schedule to doing 2-3 hours back to back, so I’m thinking maybe that could be it? Thank you so much for taking the time to respond, it means a lot to me! ☺️
I've had achilles tendonitis for 15 months so far. I would say I have seen a good progress considering how I was at the start but I feel like my progress has halted. I had trouble even walking 100M at the beginning but I can walk around 4km painfree or sometimes niggle level. I can 1. isometric heel raise on injured leg (45 seconds) 2. Alfredson Protocol heel drop (with 15kg in backback) 15 reps 3 sets 3. 2 legged hopping 50 reps 4. injured legged hopping 15 reps I can do these trouble free but here and than I do feel the niggle. I haven't been courageous enough to try running. I've tried shockwave therapy and HILT and it did help quite alot but I feel like my progress has halted. What are some options from here? Do I need surgery.....?
You definitely do not need surgery. It is absolutely fine to feel a niggle every now and again - it doesn't mean that your tendon is still injured - it is often just the brain that is still on high alert and being over-protective. The fact that your tendon is strong (look at all the exercise it tolerates) + you mentioning not feeling courageous enough to run, makes me think that you will likely benefit from someone just taking a good look at everything you are doing and assessing you and talking through all the things that worry you and then helping you come up with a plan that makes you feel safe and eases you back into running.

@@TreatMyAchilles December slots are not open for some therapists? Also, you wouldn't recommend doing single leg heel raise exercises everyday right? (especially with weights).

It's difficult to advise without having an in depth conversation because it can be one of many things:
1. It can be that you're going back to cycling too quickly
2. It can be the position on the bike
3. But cycling usually don't cause trouble for impingement so it might be that your diagnosis is not correct
4. There may be other things to consider that I am not aware of.
- Minimal joint effusion in tibiotalar talocrural & talocalcaneal joint with T2W PDFS hyperintense signal within adjacent soft tissue in the region of talocalcaneal joint extending upto lateral aspect in the region of peroneus tendon, however no evidence of obvious capsular thickening in present scan.
Prominent steida process with subtle PDFS hyperintensity within ? posterior
Impingement.
Minimal tenosynovial fluid along peroneus longus & brevis tendon below lateral malleolus ?tenosynovitis.
Minimal T2W PDFS hyperintense signal within posterior talofibular ligament with intact fiber- likely grade I injury. This is my mri I m fast bowler ma'am could please help it's been 3 months what treatment should go steroid injection??
We can't comment on what the correct treatment options are for you because we've not assessed you. If you're not sure, get a second opinion from a doctor or physio who actually assesses you and understands your full circumstances and can make informed recommendations.
Do you think it’s possible I have this? Because plantar flexion obviously occurs when driving. I do Uber for a job and often driving long hours. The pain happens at the base of my heel. And when it happens the pain feels like someone is taking a hot poker and stabbing me in the back of the heel. Often times when it occurs it takes everything in me to not scream or cry. The pain lasts usually about 30-60 seconds. Then it goes away. Usually during that 30-60 seconds I’m literally squirming. Doing anything and everything I can to alleviate the pain. Stretching it. Moving it. Trying to adjust my seating to get more comfortable again. etc. During the 30-60 seconds the first 10 seconds or so is the stabbing pain. Then the rest of the 30-60 seconds it like radiates to the whole back of my heel. The back of heel I’m talking about is if your are wearing ankle converse. And the back of the heel the ankle converse covers. I have tried wearing different shoes. From Jordan’s. To runners shoes. To timberlands work boots. Flip flops. Uggs. I have tried it all I get no success at stopping the pain from occurring.
Yes, it does sound as if your pain is being caused by something pinching and then once it gets moved out of the position it settles down.

It is really difficult to provide any useful advice other than what I already shared in the video without doing a full assessment and understanding your situation properly. You'll get much better advice and see better progress by getting it assessed and getting a treatment plan that is actually designed around your specific needs. My colleagues Barry, Kevin and Dominic are very experienced in treating ankle impingement and they can help you with this via video call.

I've been elevating it but just from walking to the bathroom and back throughout the day by the time im ready for bed i can't find a comfortable position to lay my leg bc by bedtime the pain has radiated all the way up my calf ugh its so painful oh and i cant even wiggle my toes so sometimes my foot will tingle like it has fallen asleep it drives me nuts bc i cant wiggle my toes to help that tingling sensation any idea on what I have i appreciate any and all help
Speak to your doctor about Gout - this sounds like an inflammatory condition
Hello! Is it common for this to come on not immediately after injury? I’m an LMT, and recently increased my workload 6 months post tri-malleolar fracture, and just recently started having discomfort in the lateral side of my ankle during plantar flexion, eversion and when pressing off when walking. I’m going back to my orthopedic soon to figure out what’s going on, but I wanted to try alleviate discomfort in the meantime
I don't know what LMT stands for but I am assuming it means you walk a lot? It sounds like you have likely irritated the outer joint - this can happen after fractures if:
- your foot is in a poor posture when you walk = helped by supportive shoes and sometimes insoles
- your foot strengthen was never properly restored after the fracture
- you simply increased your weightbearing (standing + walking) too quickly (6 months is not a long time for a joint) and now it is overworked and sore
@@TreatMyAchilles Thank you for your response, I greatly appreciate it! LMT is short for licensed massage therapist. I recently upped my work schedule to doing 2-3 hours back to back, so I’m thinking maybe that could be it? Thank you so much for taking the time to respond, it means a lot to me! ☺️
I've had achilles tendonitis for 15 months so far. I would say I have seen a good progress considering how I was at the start but I feel like my progress has halted. I had trouble even walking 100M at the beginning but I can walk around 4km painfree or sometimes niggle level.
I can
1. isometric heel raise on injured leg (45 seconds)
2. Alfredson Protocol heel drop (with 15kg in backback) 15 reps 3 sets
3. 2 legged hopping 50 reps
4. injured legged hopping 15 reps
I can do these trouble free but here and than I do feel the niggle. I haven't been courageous enough to try running. I've tried shockwave therapy and HILT and it did help quite alot but I feel like my progress has halted. What are some options from here?
Do I need surgery.....?
You definitely do not need surgery. It is absolutely fine to feel a niggle every now and again - it doesn't mean that your tendon is still injured - it is often just the brain that is still on high alert and being over-protective. The fact that your tendon is strong (look at all the exercise it tolerates) + you mentioning not feeling courageous enough to run, makes me think that you will likely benefit from someone just taking a good look at everything you are doing and assessing you and talking through all the things that worry you and then helping you come up with a plan that makes you feel safe and eases you back into running.

@@TreatMyAchilles do you guys accept "zelle" as payment method?
Our payment platforms are PayPal and Square. I don't know whether Zelle can interact with any of those.
@@TreatMyAchilles December slots are not open for some therapists? Also, you wouldn't recommend doing single leg heel raise exercises everyday right? (especially with weights).
