My doctor recently diagnosed me with achilles tendonitis and told me not to train or else it won't heal. Achilles tendonitis is when the area that connects the calf muscle to your ankle gets inflamed/sore from not being flexible and a lazy fatass like me. Anyways, its a bitch when I get up after laying or sitting around for a while and I start walking around. The pain usually goes away after I start walking around for a few minutes. Other than take ibuprofen and keep off it, my doctor says to wait until it heals to start training again which can take weeks. I've also found that wearing shoes with an elevated heel helps keep pressure off the affected area. Has anyone here figured out a way to train around achilles tendonitis?
