Has anyone had tendonitis in their achilles tendon?

[Riprorin]

I am frustrated right now. I developed achilles tendonitis after running 3 - 5 miles a day for several months.

I went to a podiatrist, was fitted for orthodics, and did 8 visits with a physical therapists.

Now after running 2 miles on consecutive days, my tendon is sore again.

Guess I'll call the podiatrist tomorrow.

Has anyone had any success getting rid of this?

Had it during football season in both my tendons. It sucks majorly, lemme tell ya. I gave it rest for a week or two I think, and then it kinda healed itself. Can't remember it was a few years ago, but I think the best thing would be time.

Almost exactly the same story here. I was still growing at this, point, however, so I guess eventually it just took care of itself.

Good luck, though.

Ditto that. Happened to me in high school...when I was 16. The only time I've ever been on crutches. It sucked majorly.

Yes dude, I have it - got it for running too I believe.. When it starts hurting, i'm out for a week... I also have morton's neuroma which sucks which affects a nerve in the ball of the foot As for getting rid of it, kinda impossible - don't run (or play bbal).
