A member asked:
Achilles tendonitis for about 3 months. i have exercises but they aggravate it. i went a week without doing my exercises and had no pain. once i started stretching again, it hurt. do i continue to stretch or should i stop? seeing a specialist soon.

See a specialist: 3 months is long enough for a trial of conservative therapy. Suspect your footwear is part of the problem
