[|Human|] I have had custom foot orthotics for the last few years. They have really been helpful in reducing my foot and calf pain. However, more recently I am experiencing pain on my dorsal right foot over the extensor digitorum longus (EDL) tendon branches and tenderness where the EDL tendon passes in front of the lateral maleolus. These symptoms increase when I lift more than 3-4 lbs. Might an adjustment in my orthotic help with this problem?
[|AI|]  Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised. As you have been using orthosis and for what needs to be known.  Also, as the orthosis used for a longer time needs an assessment since due to continuous wear and tear there needs to be a change in the orthosis and need attention. Also, by doing some physical therapy guided exercises you should be well. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
