I went to the sports doctor. He took a look at my foot while I stood normally, while in relevé, while doing one-footed jumps in relevé, asked me a few questions, and promptly diagnosed me with the rather rare Peroneal tendonitis. Apparently, I've been doing an excellent job caring for it, but tendon injuries are notoriously lengthy to recover from, and I now have a new support brace to carry around in case of emergency. It is also recommended I get regular specialized massage therapy.
It's all pretty related to my tight IT bands, too, which I'd also suspected. Which means that back pain I'd been experiencing on the same side is also likely related. One thing goes out of wack, and the whole body goes to hell!
I'm just relieved to have a diagnosis that makes sense. The doctor treats a lot of dancers, so he understood exactly what I was talking about, unlike my family doctor who really doesn't have a clue.
This is my second time going to this doctor, and I've been impressed both times. To any athlete or dancer in the K-W area, I strongly recommend the Waterloo Sports Medicine Centre for your movement-related injuries.
