A member asked:
My achilles tendon is throbbing...off cipro (ciprofloxacin) for one week...can't afford another doctor visit...what can i do to stop the pain?

Modalities: Heat and ice in alternation. Local massage, gentle stretching, tropicals like flexpower. Accupuncture is another consideration. Tendonopathy is usually self limited, but while hurting, limit running, cycling or other physical activities that stress or isolate the gastric/soleus complex that makes up the achilles.
