Is elliptical trainer ok to use with severe calf tendinitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Its okay but you need to stretch before and after, not exercise too long, ice it when your done, nsaids can help, and if it's acute, you should not do it at all and rest it. You may even need it immobilized if it's real bad. See your orthopaedic surgeon.
