Achilles pain: There are many other options it really depends on severity of tendinitis and location. I recommend an MRI to truly evaluate degree and review options with your podiatrist.

Stop hurting it.: Achilles tendonitis can be a very frustrating condition to treat. The speed of improvement is slower than the patient is willing to wait on. So many times, the inflammation is treated and not the cause of the inflammation process. The idea is to get more blood to the tendon without adding more injury. I find the best way is moist heat applied to the area and often. Use a Cam walker for protection.
