    So i've been training regularly for 4 months now and its goin really well.I've gotten up to 45 mins on the treddy at speed 10 km/h.Anyway my point is i cant run or do any cardio because i've developed this acute pain in my right achilles tendon.I have also started a new bar job tonight and as you could imagine all the walking is not helping.

    Anyway i am goin to see a physio on friday but i was wondering if anybody here has any short term pain relief techniques.Is there any stretch i could do to minimise the pain.I'm gonna start taking ponstan tomorrow so i'll see how that goes.Any advice would be much much appreciated.

    Cheers lads and lassies

    Dan :cool:

    Well, you could take a painkiller, such as panadol, or neurofen. Or rub some oruvail on it?

    RICE
    Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation

    Rest speaks for itself

    Ice = Frozen Peas or similar (with a towel) applied on it

    Compression = compression bandage (like you can get from a nurse)

    Elevation = Put it up on a footstool etc anytime you can (watching TV etc)

    Achilles injuries take time to heal (up to 6 months) from personal + a friend's experience, don't rush back into training.
