@tca666 Год назад

Somehow this is related but how do i deal with a deflated calf muscles after taking a long rest?

@ljwhitmire200 Год назад

I had pretty severe achilles tendon pain in both feet my entire life. Every doctor told me it was bad, would only get worse, and I had no hope. By pure luck I went to a massage therapist for a calf muscle problem. She ended up working on my over-developed (through no effort of my own) calf muscles AND my very stiff arches. Twice a week for seven months and the pain has been gone for 10 years now.

@krugmeister7301 Год назад

I inserted felt under each insole of my running shoes and it relieved the pressure so much! You are right to not stretch that way since it seemed to renew the injured heel.

@maryfuzzell6262 6 месяцев назад

To anyone suffering from Achilles Tendon problems.. dont listen to all these youtube videos.. i did all sorts of crazy exercises and stretches advised from PT and MD's on here and suffered for two years. I thought it would never get better and i was stuck suffering forever. In the end..this is what really worked. I wore inexpensive insoles in brand new high end tennis shoes... massaged my foot ..heel and calf..and I took ibuprofen for a week and it totaly took the pain away. After that, I took it slow and simply walked on my tip toes as my way to strengthen .... and graduated to where I could raise up on the toes of the sore foot more easily and held that for 30 seconds at a time. all better now.

@mom_of_an_ahgase Месяц назад

I have a bony bump on my Achilles tendon, it's painful at times and esp in the morning. I've seen 3 doctors and they said different diagnosis. 1 achilles tendonitis 2 calcaneal spur 3. Heel spur Injection was super costly and 3rd doc said it won't guarantee total cure. I'm at a loss at what to do :-(

@@BobandBrad I would not recommend surgery to shave off the spurs that you likely have at the achilles attachment. Had mine removed and returned several years later. Too much scar tissue to do any further surgery. I was told mine formed due to military service. Many road marches and running long distances over 21 yrs.

@boywaja Год назад

crazy this new vid showed up today. yesteray after walking on the treadmill i had some heel pain, and was intending to search the channel for help. applying my massage gun, if i stray lower to the heel itself, thats where my pain is. which makes me wonder if this treatment is on the right track for me.

@porchsitandknit8532 Год назад

Is the treatment different if you have a painful lump at the tendon insertion point?

@davidcrawford6505 5 месяцев назад

I have haglunds deformity on both of my feet. Ttwo surgeries on the right foot, once on the left. Doctors detached my achilles on the feet each time. Was a painful recovery each time. The VA physical therapists gave me night splints to stretch the tendons. Its been 16 yrs since my last surgery and the spurs have reformed on both feet. Stretching when I get out of bed helps with that first few steps in the morning. The VA gave me no disability rating for my spurs on my feet. They did however give me 10% for 3 non operative spurs on my spine.

@jamesdspaderf2883 Год назад

The Achilles stretch has been the mainstay for treatment of insertional achilles tendonitis since ... forever. Is there new science and research to back up the move away from stretches? How would you compare the efficacy of isometric strengthening to the eccentric stretching?

@Do-U-Know-me00 Год назад

❓❓ What about heel pain that is on the bottom of the heel toward the arch of the foot ?

@christineh4782 Год назад

This is exactly what physical therapists have me do because my ankle is broken. Part of the broken bone is pushing into the heal part you pointed to. My Achilles is very swollen. What can I do?

@ntvtexan5015 Год назад

Damn, soooo close. My pain is the BOTTOM of the heel. I guess PLANTAR FASCIITIS. I need a good way to clear that one up. I found a Great Avia shoe, stock mfg, that stops it dead in seconds, but I went a month this time before getting a new pair. It still hurts like hell, unless I tightly curl my toes, then I can take a normal step. A video on that would be great. Thanks guys !!!

@TheCubanchica250 4 месяца назад

My pain is on the actual heel on the back and the sides. I don't know what to do for that.

@JIMWESTDG 4 месяца назад

I don't know exactly what my pain is from. It is located at the center of the back of my right heel. It started a couple of years ago when I heard and felt a "pop" in the back of my heel when I put a lot of pressure on the ball of my foot on a hill one day. Ever since then, I cannot run or jump too hard where the ball of my foot is exerting a lot of force, or when I step just right and it gets agitated again. I don't feel any pain in my achilles specifically, just the back of my heel. When it gets agitated, it is very hard to walk for a long time. Is this bursitis? Or is it actually related to my achilles? Thanks 😊

HELP ME 😢😢 FOR 1 Yr iv not been able to go on tiptoe at all on my right foot. Includes swollen achilles tendon 😢. A Yr ago while dancing at a gig I felt like a massive kick from behind?? Does this mean it's totally snapped or partially torn please? When I walk its painful.

@LoveandSoulmatequotes 3 месяца назад

I'm not sure if mine is caused by a heel spur or the many accidents I've done on my Achilles tendon. I had a dog gate fall on it once. Honestly, I think that was the worst pain I've ever had, but I've also stepped off the wrong step, gained a little weight, tripped many times, etc. I'm surprised I can walk at all! All of my joints take a major beating. My doctor just snorts a happy snort and says "let's buy you a leg brace" because she likes that insurance money. So I'm hoping these work well for me. Thanks for the ideas.

@minda963 Год назад

Ok wait......my heel pain stems from my calves? My left heel has been hurting for months. I've been buying new shoes, new inserts because I thought I injured the back of my heel some how. New inserts helped a lot but the pain came back, I walk a lot at work, 10 hour shifts and my feet are fine until hour 8...,then the heel acts up. Very tender to the point I start limping, especially when I get up from sitting for a 10 minute break. I feel no pain in my calves though. I'm kind of confused but willing to try anything within reason.

@MistyMcNally 6 месяцев назад

I got pain after running--not during--up higher, behind my ankle and kind of in front of the achilles tendon but also in it. I notice irritated, swelling horizontal "bands" along the same place on the medial side. Jumping hurts. Is this the same thing? It gets all better, then worse, then...total roller coaster! Ideas?

@BobandBrad 6 месяцев назад

We cannot answer individual medical questions online unfortunately, but we would suggest you see your doctor for a diagnosis before trying to do different exercises to cure it, as doing the wrong exercises can cause even more damage. Best of luck!
