Shaggy2 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I think I may have tendonitis in my achilles. My heel is constantly sore when I move. I can train/play through it but afterwards its bloody agony. Is it a case of foot up and rest or is there anything else I can do? Also how long can i expect it to last?

AyrJambo Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Not medically qualified but had what could be similar a while back. Left achilles was tender. Could play ( 5s / 7s once or twice a week ) but sore after and sore ( limping even ) first thing on getting up or moving after being still for a while. I stopped playing for about 2 months and got some foam padding stuff from a chiropodists to stick in shoe under the heel to raise it about half an inch. Plus stretching before you get up ( pushing your heel away from you and trying to get your toes pointing towards you ) eases the pain. Freeze spray is good too. Fully recovered and back playing but took a knock on the right achilles so will probably have to go through same process again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Are you sure you don,t have a bone spur in the heel. Of course I say that not being aware of the location of pain in your heel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vladtheexhaler Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 You want to start doing some eccentric calf strengthening exercises when it is no longer painful. Until then bash on an ice pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy2 Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 Thanks for all your responses, it sounds exactly as Ayrjambo describes it so i'll try his remedy, after I play in the Hearts Youth Dev game on Aug 31. I'll just have to suffer the pain til then. And no, I'm not Owen Hargreaves unfortunately, I'm Cristiano Ronaldo;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lou Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I keep getting a shooting pain in my right heel only lasts for 10 seconds or so, but it is very very painful, happens about 10 times a day at its worst. Any ideas guys?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coppercrutch Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I am always amazed by the lack of desire from people to go to a physio !! They may cost a wee bit but they will probably know instantly what is wrong and how to deal with it. ?40 a shot is not such a bad deal when you think of it this way.

Guest S.U.S.S. Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Stop being a girl and play through the pain! Grrrrrr;) As CC said, medical help is better than some pretend Dr on here giving advice without a proper examination. Its your health, dont sell yourself short.
