pain present for 2 weeks, and is intermittant. pain worse in evenings and sometimes in mornings.
pain is localized around posterior calcanei and over distal A/T, with mild pain on med/lat compression of calcanei. dorsiflexion at ankle elicits pain as well.
Dx: Sever's disease? but never had a case at such a young age, and can't find any case history of same.
pt is very active, and mostly barefoot.
treatment to date: topical NSAID's, icing, and mild stretching. all with little efficacy.
heel raises prove difficult as pt wont wear shoes, but will be starting school in aprox. 3 weeks.
concidering night splints and taping.
any suggestion please.
