Achilles tendonitis - ouch!

[Cupramax]

Anyone got any experience of recovering from the above? Think i caused it by doing too many squats didnt go ping or anything, just woke up the day after wandering around Goodwood in agony, can hardly walk severe pain in the back of my heel.

Thanks for the responses, it seems to be improving slowly of its own accord. Just taking it easy for the moment.

After initial improvement this doesnt seem to be getting any better, infact I'm hobbling around like an old man . Think a trip to the docs is due.

Ive done sod all this week so not good. Bored stiff sitting around and feel like my legs are seizing up.

Worse again this morning despite not doing anything to irritate it , could hardly stand up when i got out of bed. Have been putting it on a bag of frozen peas and stuffed a couple of ibuprofen down me. Think this might need a visit to A&E

Thanks, i wouldnt normally even consider A&E but when it gets to the stage of not being able to stand up its not good. And as you say proper diagnosys is likely to need a scan. Thanks for the reply and link.

As i say, i dont "think" ive ruptured or torn it, there was no pop or sudden pain, i just woke up like it after a day at Goodwood so a lot of walking but no severe over exercison. The pain is litterally in the back of the heel, about an inch up i guess just below the line of my ankle bone, i guess where the tendon attaches?

I live alone and have no family local so being immobile is a tad inconvenient to say the least.
