Open Question

Has anybody had real/personial experiance with sinus tarsi syndrome?

I have read what is out there on-line. But have yet to hear from anyone else that has had any real experience with "STS". I have had debridement through open incision. And cortisone in the sinus tarsi area.( in the name of "sinus tarsi syndrome") But other then a head to toe infection that hospitalized me for 2 weeks. And reduction of some serious popping from the sinus tarsi area. I have yet to be made well.Can all things in regard to the ancle be explained? Or is there some unknown causes for pain that they can not see or detect? I am being sent for yet another 2nd opinion as they ponder fusion as a last resort. Is there still mystery in this since still??

Yes, i have been diagonosed with Sinus Tarsi syndrome STS, after a ice skating injury.

Nothing is detected in MRI or xrays, After two cortisone injections, my doctor is mystyfied and wants to do an arthoscopy. Reluctant to surgery i have been living with pain for almost 18 months now. The pain occurs walking barefood on uneven surafaces, such as grass or brick roads.

Has anyone else experienced STS , or know its cure ?
