Re: Subtalar Coalition

hi im a 19 year old in the military and the dr found out that i have a subtalar facet coalition also arhtrithis all in my right ankle and i have a choice to get surgery or not. i dont know if i should get it or not. i have already used shoe inserts basics and custom made, an injection also some pills. but the catch is that i get severe pain only when i work 8-12 hours straight, the other times im normal besides a limp. should i get the surgery or wait till it gets worse and then get surgery and keep that pain level for the rest of my life. and if i do get it know will it be worth not doing sports. i have to let the dr know my choice by september 8 2004. thanks

The Shin Splint Compression Wrap applies gentle pressure on soft tissue next to the tibia (shin bone), helping prevent additional tearing of the soft tissue away from the tibia. Compression not only reduces additional damage, it alleviates pain and enhances the healing process.
