Worried
I may have been over-doing things with the running - especially the hill repeats. I’ve got some aching in my right achilles tendon, around the heel, and along the outside edge of the sole.
I even went so far as to buy a book on running injuries today. Yeah, I know - self diagnosis instead of going to see a properly qualified doctor / physio. But at least I didn’t just look up “running injuries, heel” on wikipedia.
Hey Karl,
Take good care!!!!!!!
At least with the book you’ll know what questions to ask when you do make it to the doc.
karl, i’m dealing with the same thing in my right foot. pain at the insertion point of the achilles and out to the sides of the heel. went to an orthopedic surgeon 2 months ago who thought it was a calf flexibility issue. stretching doesn’t seem to be making it better although in fairness, i’ve been running on it. i’m going to take a couple of weeks off and head to a different doc. for help if it doesn’t get better. fyi - it’s better if i wear my night splint (from old plantar faciitis injury).
keep me posted, i’d love to hear what you find out and how it’s going.
I’m with Phil. If you sent me airfare I would come clean your office! Sorry to hear about your achillies. Ice, ice, baby.
