Achilles Tendinopathy

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 Iโ€™ll be back soon xx

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.
