Subject: Achilles/Ankle?

A few weeks ago I noticed a pain in my left foot. I thought it was toward the back of my ankle but have realized it is probably more Achilles.

I am a "wogger" and am quite slow. I've been doing 30-60 minutes since April. I took about a week break and then did about 30 minutes and that's when I started noticing the pain.

I've rested for awhile and I tried jogging yesterday and it started after a short period of time.

I'm not sure why it happened or what to do...any suggestions?

I probably should go to doctor and get PT prescribed...

I battled my Achilles this last summer...

Here is what I did:
- Stopped running hills, speed-work, and long runs (just short, flat, easy running - as my Achilles would allow)
- Iced my Achilles after every run
- Added eccentric calf raises to my daily routine

It took a while... but, I eventually got over it.

Good luck!

Six weeks ago I felt a tug on my achilles during a treadmill run. I had really been finding my stride the last few weeks ramping up mileage again for the running season.

I did more therapy, more stretches, more exercises and stopped running for over six months. I am just coming back to triathlon after a year off due to this ankle injury.

I've seen posts on chronic achilles pain, but nothing on recovery from surgery. I don't know the difference between the good pain and the bad when training.

In the fall I was running on some trails and rolled my ankle pretty bad. I took a few weeks off from running and let it heal. Every so often, my ankle feels swollen, or off.

I've been told I have laxity in my tendons which sets me up to be more prone to overuse injuries. Do you have any suggestions on what I can do to eliminate my chronic achilles pain?
