Dd had this. I took her to a specialist, and he fitted her for a special foot splint like this. She wore it at night. The way it was explained to me is that when you sleep, your foot is pointed. Your heel begins to heal in that position, so when you wake up in the morning, it tears again when you flex your foot. Sleeping with your foot flexed will help it to heal in the flexed position, so it doesn't re-injure during the day. If you lived close, I'd let you use the splint. I don't think the postage from Canada would be worth it.:001_smile: It's just sitting in my closet, collecting dust. Maybe you can rig something that will have the same result. HTH, Lori
