In a word
http://, ouch.
About 11 years ago I started to get pain in the Achilles heel from cycling and then walking.
I feared a torn Achilles tendon. However, having seen a physio I discovered that this was referred pain caused by inflamed tendons in and around my ankles. The causes were tight calves, high arches and inward pronation.
Stretching, I developed a passion for yoga , wearing orthotics and possibly a bike fit( the Bike Whisperer) seemed to help. As did Anti Imflamtpries and rest.
Over the last few months, there have been hints of a return. About a month ago a ride to work left me with sore ankles and needing to take anti-inflammatories etc again. So I rested and stretched. It went away
A lowered saddle, using heel on pedal method, seemed to help and I had a pain free ride earlier this week.
But a trip to the supermarket on Friday has set it off again.
A search suggests that it's peroneal tendonitis. Oddly, it's rarely a cycling injury, it seems most common in runners.
So, anyone here with experience of this or a similar.
What worked for you?
