mysthappen, if the directness of my response offended you then I apologize.

The first statement in my prior response was intended as a warning and not a reprimand. I've seen tons of advice pass through this forum, some of it good and a great deal of it not so good.

If you believe that your personal physician lacks the understanding to help you then you might try asking for a referral to an orthopedist.

What concerns me is that you may follow some well intentioned but poor advice out of a sense of expediency, making your problem even worse and possibly doing permanent damage. I want you to be able to keep dancing.

Good luck to you.
