What should i do about random pain in my achilles tendon?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
You can try icing : And centric excercises. If pain persists consider seeing the doctor. Stay away from quinolone antibiotics like Cipro (ciprofloxacin) and levoquin.

Ice, rest, meds: Try icing, then more icing, and then ice it again. After rest and ice, antiinflammatory meds could help and stretching consistently may relieve strain on the tendon. Lastly if pain persists, you may need to see a physician. Best of luck!
