Hi, have sharp pain in achilles tendon. most painful in morning. pain subsides during the day. has worsened since yesterday and had to take painkiller. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tendonitis: This may be an inflammation of the tendon. Use an anti-inflammatory medication, do some mild stretching if it doesn't cause pain and limit activity such as running, basketball etc. that could worsen it. This will not cause any permanent problems but can come back.
