Hydrodilation
I also used the bike when I went to the clinic on Amager. It was a long ride, but that was no problem and the weather was perfect. I got there a bit early but then cycled round a bit until it was time for my appointment.
The doctor examined me and recommended that I be given a hydrodilatation. This involves the injection of an adrenal cortex hormone into the heel. This concerned me a bit because, as a devotee of natural treatments, I was not keen
about this form of intervention. However, he convinced me that the dose was very small and very local, which meant that the risk of complications was minimal. I accepted the treatment and was given the injection before cycling home
again.
I had been warned that the hydrodilatation might be painful later on but that this was perfectly normal. I wasn’t much bothered by it, but the tenderness abated and my optimism began to flourish.
Cured
A month later, I went back for a check-up and on this occasion insisted myself on another injection for safety’s sake. At a subsequent final check-up, I felt completely fit, and this was confirmed by a scan.
I cannot describe how glad I was. I began running again soon after, ten months having passed since I had run without a tender heel.
