So today I went to the doctor and didn't get a diagnosis, because I need to have a MRI done, which won't be until next week. But here are the takeaways:
1. I could have any of the following: posterior tibial tendonitis or tendonosis, scar tissue around my posterior tibial tendon, separation of my accessory navicular bone from the navicular bone, or a medial malleolar stress fracture. But he thinks it's probably the tendon.
2. I have "unmanageable" feet which are hard to correct with orthotics and an "enormous" accessory navicular bone (as seen on x-ray). Unmanageable because they splay out instead of moving straight up and down. The accessory navicular bone is an extra bone that some people have, I already knew I had one in each foot but didn't know that they were that big.
3. I can cycle in the meantime, and use the elliptical trainer as long as it doesn't hurt.
