I'm 46, 6' x 170#, 31" waist, and am very active. I manage the back end of
a large retail store, meaning a lot of lifting boxes and walking an average
of 15 miles a day (measured). I bike 50+ miles a week road and trail, lift
free weights twice a week, and play softball. Overall I'm really happy with
my state of fitness and energy level, except...
Lately I've had some pain and swelling in my lower left achilles tendon.
Not debilitating, but it really stiffens up when I stop / sit for a while.
I get some relief from ibuprophen, and icing helps as well. Anyone have
success treating similar symptoms? I understand that "total" rest might be
best, but don't want to give up my activities.
Please reply to group. TIA
