Subject: Achilles Tendonosis

Found out yesterday that this has been the constant pain in my heel area. Has anyone had to deal with this and if so, any suggestions?

It's a degenerative problem with the Achilles Tendon as opposed to tearing.

Right now it looks like several PT sessions to see if that helps then back to the doc. 

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Good luck with the PT.  I am having heel pain on the side of my foot and top of foot near ankle.  My achilles pain has gotten alot better.  I have been to ortho, chiro (trigger point)  going to ankle ortho specialist Wed.  I have had this for almost three months.  Let me know if the PT works.  I am at the end of my rope.  I have being doing Tri's for a year lost 25 lbs.  I just hope I find something that works.

Anyone with any suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

Any comments on achilles and hills.

I live in a hilly area.   I am doing short runs in flat areas.  Also, trying to bike on flat roads.

Is this really true or a bunch of &*#@

I was having achilles tendon/heel pain and burning last year. I found a knot midway up my calf on the affected leg. I rolled it out with a can of peas on top of a 4 inch high block. Took one session for immediate noticeable relief. A few weeks and it was gone entirely.
