Have any of you been through this or have knowledge?

[exercise forever]

Okay ladies, most of you for quite some time I have been battling achilles tendonitis. I have been in therapy since August and don't seem to be moving forward in progression. I have improved since being out of my bootcast but I don't seem to be working toward getting better. I have weeks that I go without pain and then the next can be painful. I was just walking at work the other day and this sharp pain went up the tendon of my heel and literally brought me down to my knees. The pain went away after walking for a few minutes,but I wish I knew what could be causing this.

I often wondered if all the activity I am doing in Physical therapy is aggravating it. Sometime I wonder if the massages they give is also hindering it in getting well. I am really grabbing at anything to find out what is going on. I don't except the so called "It will take time." I just don't feel it in my gut that it will take a long time. I know it shouldn't be easy but this is totally ridiculous! Does any one have any suggestions or been in this situation? I have been doing no cardio for months and the depression has caused me to overeat and gain alot of weight. I used to be a very strict and in control eater with a love for exercise. I can lift weights still but sometimes it is hard just to do that. I get bored very easily!


I just need some advice and should I be doing more to help my condition. I wonder if I should go back to the doctor and see if they can find any thing else.


Thanks for hearing me out ladies! I am just at my witts end!

Hi Kim,

I think I remember you posting about this before. My goodness, by all means go back to the doctor. I know that achilles tendonitis can be a real bear to deal with and it can take a long time to recover from.

Call your doctor first thing tomorrow for a follow up. Maybe you should consider a sports med consultation.

Geez kim, I hope you get well soon. It's easy to understand how this can drag you down. {{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}} and prayers for you!

Maybe you should consider going to another Therapist. Therapists(like doctors) will treat you differently depending on who you go to.
Just my 2 cents
