With respect, I hope this doesn’t open a door of treatment strategies or anything. But to cover: I’m on year 5 of it. I’ve been doing all the things. The people in my life used to laugh at how often I was barefoot. My wife marveled at my insane calluses. I’ve always been athletic and never overweight.
But I’m supposed to have cushioned supports until it heals. Which it refuses to do.
Yeah it can run in families sadly, from what I was told it can really depend on your ankle shape and how your weight is distributed on your foot.
My dad always warned me about wearing unsupported shoes like vans, converse, campers but I never listened, my younger cousin got the same thing only at a much younger age from being in the military hiking with gear all the time
