When you get to week 8 and your physio tells you no more running until treatment for achilles is complete. Started shockwave therapy yesterday - ouch!! Hoping though that taking time out now to treat this painful ongoing condition properly (I have had it for years so it is a chronic condition) will mean I can run pain free in the future. Good luck runners and Iโll be back soon xx

Good luck with your treatment
Hi Run 7,
Best wishes and hope you get sorted.
I have to manage this.
A comfort and help to me initially with understanding is the patient paper from NHS Oxford University Hospital.
Just google your post title if you have not already read it.
