The bright side is that this problem has been picked up and you are on the treatment path. Tib post tendon dysfunction is the most common cause of adults who acquire a flat foot. This occurs if the early rupture is not diagnosed which would end up ruining your running permanantly. Hopefully this is only a partial rupture. The rehab is long and involved but you just have to work through this and come back stronger down the line

Hang in there, Traveler. I didn't tear mine but spent about 4mos this year treating posterior tib and achilles tendonitis in both legs. I know it's painful - physically and emotionally. All I can say is do whatever your doc and physio say and you'll be back on the trails next year.
Good luck!
