• Apply a plaster cast if it is painful. This should give relief of pain for a while. • Carry out a full biomechanical assessment. • In persistent cases X-rays may be taken but this is not usual. A doctor, sports therapist or physiotherapist will NOT: • Give a Steroid Injection • Operate – as they are both unsuitable as treatment.
