Strained Achilles - Some Questions. Posted: 03-21-06 20:04pm
Hey guys. 8)
well, I have well and truly "done" my
achilles. I strained both tendons over a
month ago. A simple weekend of walking
was the cause. I have not been able to
really rest for the last month. As a
result, yep, they are still kind of
strained!! :shock:
it was a big shock in the first place. I
have been a big walker in the past, ...So
i'm thinking "why, or how does it
happen?".
i guess, secondly, i'm thinking "is it normal to
take so long to heal?"
i am wanting to do some more big walks in
just 3 weeks! They are already much
better, but i'm desperately wondering "how the heck
can I make sure I don't strain the
achilles again?"
is there
anything you can do to avoid straining
them, if you're a walker?
by the way, I have been wearing orthaheels
since july. I thought (and I hope!) they
are helping!
