Achilles tendon problems? I am on my team high school track and run about 42 miles per week. Lately, my Achilles tendons were hurting me. OK, I would feel if they where only painful, but they jump when I try to run on my toes. I would be OK if they where just painful, but they hurt after running hard and I can not imagine what popping is a good thing. I intend to take an ice bath tonight, which should help some, but any advice would opreciated.
An orthopedic surgeon would be the best person to advise you because it can examine your heel / foot, diagnose and prescribe the necessary treatment.
