Achilles Heel

[Octopus37]

My Son is suffering with this, he is nearly 14. We have already contacted the GP, who just said paracetomol and rest. Was wondering if anyone could recommend any sort of support that you can put in your shoes, as he is almost unable to walk in shoes at the moment. Thanks

I used an ice pack every day for about 20 minutes and exercises for Achilles tendonitis (heel lifts, stair drops) and it made a huge difference over a month or so. I barely have any pain at all now after suffering for along time.

Mine was from running and not stretching before and after properly. A sports physio might be able to help, when you can see them again.

Thank you.
