    Im forever having problems but all I can say is after a hard session icing it really helps. If it gets to the stage were u just cant run on it head to a masssage therapist.

    Another thing I was told to do but never got around to actually doing, You can buy heel raisers that u put in your running shoe that obviously raises the heel so that there is less pressure on ur Achilles Tendon

    Hope it clears up

    calf raises, ice, physio and look at runners you are wearing. all helped when i got achilles tendonitis last summer. like DJS says if it gets sore to run on stop and take a break.

    I'm having a mild form of the same problem at the moment. After doing a bit of googley-boogely, I saw a mention of applying some Arnica cream to the area (along with a load of recuperative exercises), which the Mrs just happened to have handy. So after doing a tough session last night, I applied some, and perhaps it's a placebo, but it doesn't seem as painful this morning. I'll certainly give it a go again. Arnica is a form of natural anti-inflammatory.

    Yep as mentioned above problems with runners etc. A good stretching routine can obviously help. If you haven't got a foam roller I'd invest in one also. I found my achilles pain originates from the calf muscle so a good stretch of this helps me.
