Achillies tendinitis

Ice is your friend...raise and ice for 10 minutes each, repeat every 20 minutes.
Stretch - Stand on a step on your tip toes, with the heel over the step below.
Stand on both your tip toes for 3 seconds, then drop the heel below the step for 3 seconds (this will feel good). Repeat 20 times minimum or as much as you can at the beginning. As strength builds up increase the number of x20 reps to a maximum of 5 (enjoy).
As you age, tendons toughen up and need a bit of TLC.
