@Andrewgen_Receptors - I’ve been away for a long time… sorry.

Looks like a failed ossification of part of the navicular bone. An MRI is definitely called for just to assess the state of the pseudo-joint. Then better opinions can be given.

  • Do you have any experience or reservations about this kind of approach?
  1. 5-14% of people have this and most do not know. I assume she did not until later in life more recently. So, the question now is what changed? Footwear, activity, injury, etc?
  2. I have seen this treated in other areas, but those are from past injuries, not congenital anomalies. Too much info missing to be helpful.
  • I’ve heard recommendations of BPC-157 dosing from 1.5mcg x BW(kg) to 2.5mcg x BW(kg). Do you have a non-professional opinion on what a low-risk, but effective dose may look like? If this question is risky for you to answer, no worries if you cannot comment.
  1. Not really. But it may be the wrong tool for the problem anyway.
  • Is there anything additional that you recommend which could help in surgical or non-surgical capacity?
  1. I’d want to see it first and the MRI too. But, question:
  • Is she having calf tightness? Particularly deep under the gastroc. The area that appears to be in question is where the Tibialis Posterior attaches and it may be having tension pulling on the tendon attachment, thus causing pain from the tendon being inflamed. (another reason for the MRI). Then, the treatment would be completely different, and potentially a much more positive outcome can be expected.
  • Any exercises that she can do pre/post recovery that may help?

Shoot a video showing where the pain is, movements where pain occurs and stop in the motion to indicate where and when it does. - Doc
