Is there a way to quickly heal my achilles tendonitis?

Achilles: There is no quick heal because rushing it can make it worse. Try rest, ice, compression and elevation if not getting better would get MRI to make sure not more severe.

Achilles Tendonitis: Achilles tendinitis which is stretching the tendon where it inserts on the heel. Try wearing a heel lift in your shoe or a slight heel to relax the tendon from its insertion. Ice, rest, topical irritants like icy hot or bengay can help too. If it doesn't get better visit your local podiatrist for further evaluation and treatment. Possible need to ankle brace, walking boot or physical therapy.
