A member asked:
Should i stop lifting weights due to achillies tendon pain or just quitting running on the treadmill is enough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If you are performing squats then yes you should stop because this would cause stress to the achilles tendon. Other weight training such as leg lifts should be fine
