Lower Leg, Achilles Tendonitis

2015-02-19 – 2015-03-18

Grade: 3

Severe pain in left achilles today. Had to stop running... painful to walk. But what is weird is I do not get any pain when I perform a calf stretch. Pain is severe when I point my toe to the ground. Plantar Flexion

I am going to go with recovered because it's been really good this week. Resolution I think is primarily a result of doing zero running and ellipticalling for 5 days. That and a prescription Anti-Inflammatory (topical solution - Pennsaid) which is supposed to be 3x the strength of Voltaren. Another big help included doing Eccentric loading calve strengthening and a pile of achilles and calf stretches.
