Sorry chaps - one traumatic and one chronic! Sorry, but reminded me a visit to a physio who asked if my injury was traumatic, at which I explained that it certainly was as I couldn’t run. Turned out he wasn’t asking about my mental state, but the injury was indeed traumatic.
FifingE get well soon.
Chris - no running, eccentric stretching on stairs and ice 3 times daily. PM me or reply if you want a more detailed description of the necessary stretching routine. Achilles are beggars due to blood supply etc, but can be fixed.
