L Lower Leg, Achilles Tendonitis
2009-01-06 – 2009-04-17
Grade: 3
6th Jan
L.Achilles / calf pain poss as a result of mild ankle sprain, poss due to using shoes I dont normally use, it certainly wasnt caused by indulging in unusual level/type of exercise. Later noticed a lump (size of 20p) on lower outside of shil immediately above ankle - not painful but does restrict foot movement a little.
9th jan
can now walk normally again - lump at base of shin still present
10th jan - managed a trot
14th jan - broke down 5 mins into easy running drills
26th Jan had massage from chris feels a bit better
30th Jan went pop in playground - ouch
mid Feb a few trottettes
21st Feb Finally gave it a proper run out - ok?
28th Mch - slowly getting better - i hope
17 April - got thru the JK at easter with only minor discomfort so i'd say i'm just about recovered
caused by coming back from a hill walking holiday and then going for a run without doing sufficient stretching of instep and ankle.
recovery just takes 100 days - no short cuts :-(
