A member asked:

How would doctors recommend i treat pain in my achilles tendon?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Rest and therapy: An inflamed achilles tendon or achilles tendinitis needs to be treated. By total rest, physical therapy and possible meds. Achilles tendonitis that is left untreated can be susceptible to acute rupture.
