L Lower Leg, Achilles Tendonitis
2010-04-17 – 2010-10-17
Grade: 1
I think I never quite heeled from the Achilles Tendonitis I had in April. There's pain only sometimes, especially when getting up in the morning. But the pinching test definitely passes. I hope there is no permanent damage.
22/6 - put some heel insert in my walking shoes, to lift the heel.
1/7 - Read some more, it seems I have tendonosis, not tendonitis. Anyway, I'm going to start doing eccentric calf exercises today, hope it helps.
Three and a half months after started doing eccentric calf exercises. The injury is not over yet, but now it's so much better I rarely feel it, and even then only when I "pinch" the tendon. I never feel it during runs now.
I am going to continue the calf exercises until it's completely cured, but I can probably finally close this six months old injury report.
