রোগ নির্ণয়

Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. You may be referred to a specialist. For example, a sports medicine physician focuses on sport injuries.

The following test may be administered:

• X-ray —test that uses radiation to take picture of structures in body, may be used to rule out a fracture
• Bone scan —test that uses tiny amounts of radioactive material and a camera to take pictures of bones; used to look for bone abnormalities; more sensitive than an x-ray

চিকিৎসা

MTSS is treated with:

• বিশ্রাম
• ননস্টেরয়েডাল অ্যান্টি-ইনফ্ল্যামেটরি ড্রাগস (NSAIDs)
• বরফ
• Crutches may be given for severe pain
• Arch supports and shock-absorbing insoles may be recommended
• When you feel better, slowly return to normal activities. Increase your activity level over several weeks.

Your doctor may suggest a different pair of shoes. A brace or walking boot may also be needed.

প্রতিরোধ

To help reduce your chance of getting MTSS, you may try the following steps:

• Wear shock-absorbing insoles when running or during other high-impact exercise.
• Stretch before and after exercising.
• When starting a new sport or increasing your workout, do so gradually.
