Two very tender and sore Achilles tendons. What to do?

1 Answer

Answer :

Do you have hiking boots with a higher, firmer heel to wear tomorrow? My day hikers with good heels help my feet feel a lot better. The best anti-inflammatory I’ve found for muscle and tendon aches is ibuprofen; 600 milligrams every 5–6 hours. I have also read about alternating icing with heat; you might try looking on webmd.com for other ideas.
