4. Improper Recovery Can Cause It
There are many potential causes for peroneal tendonitis, although all of them can be narrowed down to activities that place too much-added strain on the ankles – and this can risk other injuries in addition to the original injury. If you have recently injured a muscle or tendon and you don’t spend the right amount of time in recovery (or you just end up doing anything that strains the muscle again from the start), it can be one of the causes for peroneal tendonitis.
If your condition has been caused by improper recovery, it’s likely that your doctor will recommend rest – and this time, complete rest – for at least twelve weeks until the condition has allowed itself to heal completely and you aren’t at any further risk for injuring yourself again.
Failing to listen to your doctor’s advice, in this case, can lead to a huge risk of repeated injury.
