achilles tendonosis

I was just released from months of therapy for achilles tendonosis. No pain for over a week. Tonight. Throbbing. So upset. I did walk a lot yesterday and did not get a chance to stretch. Worked all day and then had evening plans. Has anybody had achilles tendon problems? Any advice?

    I had it many, many years ago. Really didn't go away completely until I took time off work and off my feet. Since you have been getting therapy you probably know all my tips. I got it from running in improper shoes. So, number 1 is having the right shoes for the activity! Go to a running store, see if you need inserts for your shoes or a special shoe for your gait. Stretching, anti-inflammatory meds and food (ie, tart cherry juice 4 ounces daily). Elastic wraps and ice to control the flare-up. Good luck! Also, there is a class of antibiotics (floxins) that can cause Achilles tendon problems in a few people - avoid those unless critically needed.
