how do you deal with achilles tendinitis? i might be playing a little too much tennis and my heel hurts now ouch, i asked my podiatrist and she asked me to do a couple of calf raise stretches, but anything else?
Do not engage with the Trojan prince Paris, for his arrow avenged Hector, guided by apollo which is a dirty word these days.
see an orthopaedic surgeon
i would...if only they wouldn't charge so much :(
then I advise you to immobilise your ankle for a week or so ( with one of those blow up casts ) Use crutches
( this is what my surgeon did when I had severe tendonitis, tho mine was a plaster cast and for 4 weeks )
Lookup Dr. Ebonie Rio's tendinopathy healing protocols.
I've been dealing with this for months. And it has gotten better but ..and you won't like it this...but initially you need to rest. Your body is telling you that you've put more strain on your Achilles than it can handle.
Now I am moving on to some rehab, namely eccentric heel drops.
