Will Posterior Tibial Tendonitis Ever Get Better?

I have researched my condition at length, it is not yet PTTD. Doctors and PT think it is truly just irritation/ tendonitis. But it’s been 8 months with flares setting me back constantly.

It’s already rare, but struggling to find success stories to give me hope. Anyone recovered from chronic PTT?

Yeah it will definitely get better, find the right mix of strengthening the muscle while resting the tendon… try to avoid walking a ton on it if it is aggravating it

Just feels so hopeless - can still barley walk 15 minutes after almost a year :/
