DEAR DIANE, I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERNS, BUT MY QUESTION IS HAVE MET with any INJURY?? ANY HABITS OF LONG TIME WALKING? SEE AS YOU SAID THAT INDICATES inflammatory PROCESS IS STILL GOING ON. YOU NEED TO GIVE COMPLETE REST FOR ATLEAST A WEEK. YOU CAN APPLY ICE FOR INSTANT PAIN AND SWELLING RELIEF. GO FOR PHYSIOTHERAPY TREATMENT AFTER THAT AND TAKE ULTRASONIC THERAPY. I HOPE THIS WILL HELP MUCH.
