L Lower Leg, Achilles Tendonitis

2000-10-01 – ?

Grade: 3

Achilles tendonosis in left leg.
First occurred in October 2000. Subsequently unable to run almost any distance without pain and stiffness.
First serious attempt to resolve injury was in 2006. Lots of stretching and regular massage was very promising until broke down again after 8 weeks of regular (easy) running.
Second attempt to resolve injury started in october 2007. Focus on eccentric strengthing of left calf by going up on good leg and down on injured leg. Google "achilles tendonosis" if you need more info.
Progress seems promising thus far.
