I have both, was running cross country almost everyday, 5k 20 mins. I love running so much and have been recovering since late may. It’s now august. I’m glad for these videos
Very helpful. I’m taking Levofloxacin and was not informed of the risk nor was anything said by my doctors when I indicated I had developed Achilles Tendinopathy.
I was trying to research effectiveness of ESWT as a layman (but a pro at Achilles injuries), but only had a particular brand and did not know the more general term. Thanks!
It's very tender, back of heel. I wear flip flops 95% of the time- so, not from shoes. For baby years in the morning the pain presents then dissipate shortly after. but now it's gotten extremely painful in a very short amount of time for seemingly no reason. 😢
I don't have any pain around the heel area where the tendon is but the part just below where the calf muscle inserts feels weird. That's also part of the achilles tendon though right?
I have had this for about a month. All I was doing was my usual stretches. Dr claims it’s just tendinitis. I’ve been wearing a boot for a week. Didn’t seem to help too much. Not sure if I tore something 😓
@@lilhuntxd finally, yes.. took a good 3-5 months.. weeks in the boot, followed by babysitting it. Now I take collagen and I’m getting back into “light” stretches. It’s too easy to tear this area. I know several ppl who have.
I had Achilles tendinitis, and it took me nine months to recover through a combination of rehabilitation exercises, a balanced diet, vitamin D supplements, high-protein intake commonly used in bodybuilding, and intense kilometers of walking.
Thank you. My daughter (who is only 11) has mid-portion tendonitis, she is doing the Ice and trying to rest it up (but, as I said, she's 11, so your mileage may vary on that......😉) so I'll mention the ESWT (and watch her recoil in horror, probably) as a possibility.
I gave the eccentric contractions a go tonight and found when im lowering my foot it would make a sharp (pain) clicking on the top of my mid foot about an inch from my pinky toe? Could this be a different underlying problem all together?
I'm older but I've got this and I think it lead to plantar fasciitis. It's so frustrating because its been on and off for 8 months, even with a major downshift in my milage. Don't know what else to try.
so sorry to hear that! unfortunately so many runners have to suffer from running injuries, this is why strenght training is so important. I hope you´re doing better today!
I'm 30 and had achilles tendonitis 3 days ago on sunday. It hurt just stepping off a curb and the whole tendon up my calf muscle was sore and weak but I still ran on it on Monday. Now it's Wednesday and it feels back to normal. What I did was apply cold and hot to it multiple times every day. No need to reduce work load. Just take care of it on the days when you're not training.

An Achilles injury is different because if you’re not moving it, you won’t heal properly. Don’t be afraid to massage the hell out of it and rub the knots out. It’s going to hurt but if you do it right, it’s healing. Rehab is painful if you’re doing it right.
Ditto that....massage gun healed my mid section tendonopathy, but R insertional tendonopathy is hanging around and proofing hard to treat (now doing heat packs and massage.....slowly improving so it might get there. 58 YO male btw.....been an issue for about some years (life long runner)
You offering study notes AND an audio link (not to mention the video itself) is just so generous. Thank you.

Explaining to patients in simple terms like this goes a long way.

Very informative and easy to follow! Thanks !!!
Can this cause pain around the ankle too?
Thanks for the info. How can a person increase the collagen in their tendons. I have several tendon injuries. Thanks 😊
There numerous collagen powders available. Please take the hydrolized variant. Gelatine may also help
but what can we do to heal this ?
It's very tender, back of heel. I wear flip flops 95% of the time- so, not from shoes. For baby years in the morning the pain presents then dissipate shortly after. but now it's gotten extremely painful in a very short amount of time for seemingly no reason. 😢
Flip flops can definitely harm your feet-they offer no support! Hoping you’ve healed up in this time 🙏
This is such a great video 👍🏾
I love that squeeze test animation!
Me too!

Are you okay now?

@@KELOC1 3-5 months 😟 I just recovered from ACL surgery now I have this shit…
I’m glad you are better now 👍
@@lilhuntxd don’t get depressed about it.. just rest it and try to take it easy. These are just minor setbacks. Get well soon
@@KELOC1 Thank you 🙏
Heel raises didnt work for me. Caused my achilles to get very stiff, and led to plantar fascitis.
I had Achilles tendinitis, and it took me nine months to recover through a combination of rehabilitation exercises, a balanced diet, vitamin D supplements, high-protein intake commonly used in bodybuilding, and intense kilometers of walking.
im only 15, do you think that my ankle will need surgery if i continue to do sports?

This video is great!
Thank you!
Which reason Achilles tendon pain ?
Excellent video
Ive had achilles tendonitis for 3 years it is not going away
I am starting to think mine will be with me too.
I gave the eccentric contractions a go tonight and found when im lowering my foot it would make a sharp (pain) clicking on the top of my mid foot about an inch from my pinky toe? Could this be a different underlying problem all together?
great info thanks
Can this cause shaky or jitteriness in the calves from extreme walking?thanks!
how about prp?
I just got diagnosed with this and the doctor suggested prp
Thank you
Thanku so much 😊
Thank you for the video. Learnt a lot ❤️
Thanks!
Hii.I have had TA lengthening surgery on 03 Oct 22...which exercises should I follow..?
Out of curiosity what is the treatment for tendon rupture?

Surgical repair in complete ruptures
Ima li na srpskom jeziku.?
I’m a runner and this hurts so much! I’m about to turn 28 and my body just aches
I hear that, used to be able to run half marathons. I have bone spurs and Achilles tendinitis in both ankles

I have it too.
Stop running for a year.

Are you sure . I’m convinced that doing this made mine flare up

Great to the point and high trike!
