How To Treat The Pain In The Cuboid Area?
I fractured my cuboid in a fall almost 2 years ago. I have been in physical therapy multiple times and have worn an arizona brace for six months. I still have pain in the cuboid area when I walk or run. My PT and I both believe there is something mechanical as the pain in is the same place and never changes.

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to cuboid syndrome. It is a condition caused by an injury to the joint and ligaments surrounding the cuboid bone. It is usually treated with physical therapy. Meanwhile, I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
