Achilles Tendinitis

One of the most common ankle conditions is Achilles Tendonitis, also known as Achilles Tendinosis. Tendons, unlike bone, can’t repair itself. After tendons are torn, they create a “scar-like” attempt to repair themselves and that tissue does not have the same properties as the original tendon in terms of strength and elasticity.
Treatment of Achilles Tendonitis in the acute stage, or just a few weeks after the initial injury, starts with immobilizing the ankle in a boot or cast. That allows the tendon a chance to rest and not be stressed, helping with inflammation, swelling, and pain. For more chronic patients that have had ongoing Achilles pain, using ice and heat alternatively often helps decrease pain. Treatment early allows for better, quicker results.
Patients should seek treatment for Achilles Tendonitis from an orthopedic surgeon that specializes in foot and ankle problems when they have significant swelling, changes in the soft tissues, or persistent pain for several weeks.

6 months, no swelling, painful tho. Finally got diagnosed. it hurts just watching you touch her ankle.

Hopefully you are on the road to recovery after your diagnosis. Take care!

@@thecenteroregon I am!!! Your video helped me AND my new P.T. is awesome. I'm not used to being allowed to be in pain. I'm already walking normal for the first time in years. I didn't realize how bad it was... from YEARS of avoiding pain so I trained my leg to twist the wrong way when I walk to avoid pain, I've been hopping for months so my brain just thought THAT was the point to say it started. And I probably have "Ehler's Danlos". Thanks!!! :)

@@VinesThroughTime How is it now?
Any improvement in the last six months for you?
Are there any specific finger work or techniques that have helped you?

[@VinesThroughTime]

@@Yowzoe yes!!! so much better. i was diagnosed also with Ehler's Danlos syndrome and went to physical therapy. they had to teach me how to walk normal. it was very helpful

It only pains when running...please help

[@frmiceboxx1766]

Same

[@ffkakashi2866]

Hi , any solution you might've found?

[@jurantchetty4162]

No, nothing. However warming up the Achilles delays the onset of pain just by a few minutes

[@ffkakashi2866]

@@jurantchetty4162 I cannot even walk properly.... A quick solution is to keep the posture of your feet straight and try to walk slowly

[@Boomkick007]

Does this pain ever go away
