Peroneal Tenosynovitis is the first Peroneal Tendon Problem in Runners - a podcast by Dr. Christopher Segler

If you are listening to this, you’re probably a runner and you probably also have pain on the outside of your ankle. You may have already been to see a doctor, or you may just be trying to figure this out on your own. Either way, either you or someone else has suggested that you have a problem with the peroneal tendons. And you’re probably worried that it’s going to screw up your ability to run at least for the next several weeks.

Your doctor may have told you, or you may have read, continuing to run with peroneal tendinitis can result in permanent damage to the tendons. So a diagnosis of peroneal tendinitis can and should be concerning. The most important thing is to figure out whether or not you actually have peroneal tendinitis or you have another condition that might be easier to treat, like peroneal tenosynovitis.

Today on the Doc On The Run podcast we’re talking about peroneal tenosynovitis in runners.
