I am trying to stay in, or get in shape while my torn paroneal tendon gets better. Currently I am riding the stationary bike as much as possible and doing the non-jumping Insanity workouts (like yoga with planks and slow squats) while wearing the boot. My doc told me I could ride the bike but to not stand and ride it as this puts a lot of pressure on the tendon. My areas is all hills, so that takes out riding my real bike much.
Here is my question:
In the boot, can I either really slowly jog OR go on a long (3-4 hours) walk? What about elyptical?
Here is the exact wording from my MRI on 1/18/2013:
Impression:
1. Mild longitudinal tear and tendinopathy of the peroneus longus tendon.
2. Mild posterior tibial, flexor digitorum longus, flexor hallucis longus tenosynovitis.
As a follow up, my doctor said that it could be as soon as 8-12 weeks when I get the boot off and get going again, but he predicts closer to the 6 month time frame. I was surprised to read "mild" on there given this diagnosis. Does 6 months really seem likely given that it is mild?
Thanks!
