    Hi,

    I was having a lot of pain in both of my feet and my doctor told me that I had accessorry navicular bones in both feet and that was causing the pain. I am a 26yr old female who played soccer my whole life and I have never had any irritation in my feet in that area. Now I cannot even walk my dog 2 miles without having tremendous soreness and pain the next day. I execute fundraising events for a non profit and am not even able to perform my job since it is too much stress on my feet. I went to see a physical therapist today and he told me to strengthen my hips (but seemed to ignore the chronic pain in my feet). My insurance is going to run out soon and I am just looking for a solid treatment plan where I can heal my feet, stop the pain, and begin to lead a normal active life again.

    My questions for you are

    What are the treatment options for accessory navicular pain?

    How long does it usually take to recover?

    With physical theraphy, what sort treatment or excercizes should I be getting there?

    Can you reccommend any physicans or physical therapist in the southern california area that I could see for treatment?


    I cannot thank you enough for your help! This is really holding me back in my life and I just need some help figuring out how to heal my feet and live a normal life again.

    Among the non-surgical approaches may be casting the foot to induce rest, NSAIDS, orthotics and excercises to increase the strength of the involved muscles. There is no predictable time for recover, but when conservative measures have failed, a Kidner type procedure is generally considered. I woud leave the specific nature of the excercises and their instructions up to the attending doctor who must evaluate the integrity of the structures and make decisions on its appropriateness and to the physcical therapist. I do not make recommends of doctors for whom I cannot personally attest.
