Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
I have studied your case and. I think that you are having teno synovitis of the tendons of leg. I have seen that you have tried most of the conservative treatment. I have following suggestions for you.
1. steroids injection in the tendon sheath can be given. After this when physiotherapy is tried then it will provide better relief. Steroid injection should be given by orthopaedic doctor and it should be repeated not before three months. Also make sure that it is given in sheath and not directly in tendon.
2. tendon sheath can be released by a micro surgery. It will be a minor procedure and can be done in ten minutes. It will offer permanent cure in this type of teno synovitis.
I hope this answer will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other follow up questions.
Thanks.
