Oh no! Hope the twinging disappears for you and your Achilles behaves itself! Happy running!

It's "twanging" as in a piece of elastic! LOL I got one and every so often it gets really painful. I think the answer is rest, and Ibufren if needs be. I try and keep mine raised when I get a sit down and then elevate it on a pillow at night. Those ice pack things are good (the freezer sort)

I hope it gets better soon and you can start running again
