My achilles' tendon hurts when i lay down and walk, what should i do?

Rice: Classic first line treatment is rest, ice, compression and elevation. For most tendon problems it is also good to try deep massage and stretches. It is usually worse in the morning, so that is the perfect time to stretch it out before you get started.

RICE: The first line of treatment is usually rest, ice, compression and elevation. In addition the achilles tends to tighten up at night when you foot is slightly flexed. Taking care to stretch your calf muscles may also help. If it doesn't get better, then time to get checked.

Stretch!: Make sure you do your warm-up and cool down stretches consistently. Check your shoes and make sure they are not wore out. Adding an arch support or heel pad may be beneficial. Temporarily hold back on your exercise intensity or duration. If these things do not work, see a podiatrist.
