Subject: RE: Achilles Tendonitis or something else? I did mine in during summer soccer season mostly not stretching good enough not enough warm up time, playing in 3 soccer teams (coed, mens indoor, mens outdoor and the practice to boot )..like I am 19 again.... Duh!!
I played with it hurting during warm up and after cool down and a little aggrivation during (not more than I could handle ) that was not smart finaly after summer season and training for fall started hurting allot more all the time...stinging when trying to do activity..I thought...darn thats it surgery..etc
But I have stayed away from the soccer field and from running for 6 weeks and it has made vast improvements, I have been jogging with some stiffness and instability so I am slow jogging and walking/hiking as well at a nice brisk pace... I have run (pardon the pun ) actually right now its more like walked into a site that has some excercises for preventative achilles injuries they have been helping me build strength in that area...

I am not sure if they completely work I have just started doing them myself, the theory makes sense along with the sources are very credible. I am doing these lightly while I am recovering....
I thought I would pass on my story and a link for information...hopefully no one neglects stretching and warm up/cool down like I did and hurts themself like I did.....Warm up....stretch....cool down..... everytime...
Tri Hard...Train safe...
