"If your running good distance if haven't done already invest in a good expensive of runners you'd be surprised the difference,I find good under armour ones very good,expensive but hey your health is ur wealth "Or Brooks they are excellent.

"Rest obviously ... don't aggravate it ... when healed enough, try strengthening exercises ... " Ah yeah, good point, I must read up on strengthening exercises. | |||

"When i was playing, the physio insisted on walks in the sea. " The sea is a bit far for me plus with this injury I doubt I could drive far. Would it not also be too cold? Wonder would the swimming pool help instead though. | |||

"You can pick up a foam roller fairly cheaply, then try rolling your whole calf area twice a day. Once you’re on the mend, roller the area before and after every workout when you start getting back into your excercise routine." A foam roller? Forgive my ignorance as I haven't heard of them before. What does it do exactly and where would I likely be able to buy one? | |||

"If your running good distance if haven't done already invest in a good expensive of runners you'd be surprised the difference,I find good under armour ones very good,expensive but hey your health is ur wealth "Yeah I totally agree with you. I never mind forking out for good running shoes with good support that are well cushioned. I suspect the culprit may be my football boots. Did two different training sessions on Thursday evening with two different teams and I suspect the support in my football boots is not great. Time to invest in a new pair. Gel insoles mightn't be a bad idea either. | |||

Or Brooks they are excellent. And proper running socks too. For football us a strapping, bit of support. "Strapping also might be a good idea. I'll look into that. | |||

"You have simply over-used your tendon. So, stop doing the activity that causes the injury. If you're strong and healthy, your body will heal itself fairly quickly, but wait till your completely pain free before going running again. Just one foot? I wonder are you running on roads where there is a camber? If so, one leg and foot has to travel a different distance to the other, and both feet land at different angles. It causes lots of knee and ankle problems. Hope you are fit again soon. " Yeah I run so many varying routes. May rest for a while before going again. | |||

I swear by Tiger Balm(the dark amber one), apply generously but make sure you either use a glove or really scrub your hands afterwards....in case you touch any tender parts of your body afterwards!! | |||

"Wonder would the swimming pool help instead though." The pool would help you stay active with less weight bearing on your Achilles. Look on YouTube, bound to be a rehab video for Achilles and the pool, might be worth trying for a while | |||

"stand on step (say door step)put all ur weight on it for 15 seconds then rest and continue doing it for 20 goes, do about 5 of these a day" Might give that a try once I heal. Right now I can't walk up the steps properly. Have to hop. Can't put weight on this bad foot at all. | |||

Take anti-inflammatory painkillers. ... Use a heel lift. ... Practice stretching and strengthening exercises. About as simple as you can get. I must start back doing the strengthening exercises, I had a complete rupture in 2012 and it still gives me bother. | |||

"I feel your pain, I have tendonitis in my shoulder and it is agony
I swear by Tiger Balm(the dark amber one), apply generously but make sure you either use a glove or really scrub your hands afterwards....in case you touch any tender parts of your body afterwards!! "Ah I hadn't thought of tiger balm. Must try that. Sounds like a good idea. Yeah I know all too well about tiger balm. I remember about ten years ago living with housemates and we used to prank each other all the time. He put tiger balm on my bedroom door handle which I ended up rubbing in my eye. He also put some in my boxers. Was payback though for worse pranks I had played on him. Lol | |||

"OK, lots of advice on here; some good, some generic, some trying to be helpful but lacking specific experience. I am a long time achilles sufferer. From the point i damaged both (yes both) achilles - one turning into chronic achilles - until i was able to run again, was 18 months. The rehab work was 3-4 times a week for that entire time - i’m pretty dedicated like that. I’m not a medical professional, but i will relate to you what i learned and worked in my specific case. Please google everything i relate to satisfy yourself. 1) The achilles is the largest tendon in the body and has limited/slow bloodflow through it. Therefore the usual RICE principles largely dont apply (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation). 2) It will take a long time to heal to be able to be active again but if you are an older athlete (30s, 40s, 50s), you will not get rid of it completely. As long as you exercise you will have to continue some remedial work. 3) Achilles injuries often come from weakened calf muscles. Hence the reason they strike older athletes more. Rehab involves strengthening woth specific slow work and eventually progressing to ballistic work. 4) Step 1: Heel drops. Stand on a step with the ball of your foot making contact with the edge. Push up with both feet then lift the ‘good’ foot, and lower yourself with the ‘bad’ leg until heel is as far down as you can go. Repeat for 10 reps, then do good side (to ensure strength balance maintained). Aim to build this up over a few weeks to 25 reps per side. You should do this 3-4 times per week. 5) once built up to 25, start doing sets. Aim is to so 3 sets of 25 on each leg. Then build in sets of “bent knee” heel drops too as there are two sets of calf muscles. 6) Next build in toe walks (40m walking on your toes; 2-3 sets) 6) When you can achieve this easily, you need to start doing ballisric (explosive) work. Skipping is the easiest. Double leg skips then single leg skips, intermingled. Build up slowly. Woth each of these DO NOT overdo it. Your calves are key to fixing your achilles. If you do what i have suggested above, take your time and are patient, you will fix your ackilles injury. But it will take many months. Lastly, foam rolling with a foam roller that has grooves all the way round the cylinder face is the best (hence rolls woth the grain of the calf tissue). And start taking magnesium supplement. 400mg once a day helps to keep the calf specifically in good shape. Try live strong dot com for more info. Good luck. Having been through it, i dont envy whats ahead of you "Wouldn't have considered myself older or an athlete lol | |||

"OK, lots of advice on here; some .... This is excellent detailed information and seems like it will definitely come in handy. Thanks very much for taking the time to type it all. Deeply appreciated." One last thing: i didnt explain the heel drops particularly well. Look up youtube videos on how to do properly as they are key to recovery. | |||

"You can pick up a foam roller fairly cheaply, then try rolling your whole calf area twice a day.

Really good advice ^^ Rest and compression and rub to keep blood flowing into it to speed up recovery! An injury that can take awhile to fully get right! You will also have to do some rehab exercises to get back full motion and to make sure it does not reoccur! | |||
