Have NO recollection of injury but for several months (maybe 4-5) My achilles tendons have been hurting and I have a lump on the back of one. All my docs said to go see a podiatrist. I did so this past Monday. Achilles tendonitis AND plantar fasciitis. No wonder me feet hurt. Sheesh. He's got me doing "runner" stretches for the tendons, put half inch lifts in the heels of my shoes (shifts my weight a bit off the heels)and said orthodics would help the fasciitis but not the tendonits (so no to those for now).
So...stretching 8-9 times a day, trying to wear my shoes as long as I can stand it...I love being barefoot or in my flat slippers. He told me to get some clogs and/or maybe some "wedge" style sandles to elevate the heel. Hoping this helps so I don't have to have P.T. or wrap my feet/ankles or anything. Just want it to go away so I can get back to normal...well normal for me. I do soooo well with little disease impact. Guess I'm spoiled abd take this for granted when many of you have to deal with so much impact.
I just needed to unload. Forgive my whining.
