Aching Achilles Tendons?!


Question:

Aching Achilles Tendons?

I generally wear flat shoes, but lately my achilles tendons really ache... They ache when I stand, walk, climb stairs etc. The only relief that I get is when I'm sitting down.

I sit with my legs straight out in front of me, soles of my feet to the floor or crossed at the ankles.

I need some non-medicated relief as I'm starting to hobble around the office. Only sensible answers please - thanks.


Answers:

I too suffer with Achilles problems - I'm having a sports massage this evening to try and relieve some of the discomfort.

The problem could well be your flat shoes. They may mean that your Achilles is hyperextending when you walk. A podiatrist would sort you out, possibly with inserts for your shoes.

There are also lots of stretches that you can do easily in order to make them more flexible.

I hope you resolve your problem soon
