achilles tendon problem

[maccaz]

Anyone had this happen?

After a run last week (no faster or for longer than usual) and my achilles tendon has gradually ached more and more since then, and when i stretch it, it is quite tight and feels like it is crunching or grinding. pain is worse in the morning when i use it for a bit it gets better.

will see physio asap but keen to hear if anyone has experienced this

I have had this. But I don't have the news you wanna hear.. I don't remember what fixed it. Buts its gone.

In my case. it would feel tender and unstretched after a run maybe a few hours later. Also mornings the tendon would feel sore and unstretched which would get better after walking on it.

Sounds like some inflammation in the "fat pad" around the achilles tendon. Why not get it checked with the right person and have some peace of mind, appropriate treatment if necessary?

Had completely gone by Monday so checked with physio and have to re book if it comes back, most likely was just inflammation. gotta make sure i warm up/down and stretch when running and should be sweet
