Treatment for Achilles tendonitis?
Posted , 4 users are following.
For a number of years, my left Achilles tendon has been a little tender. Now it is very sore and aches, even at rest, with a burning feeling. I also have a painful lump half-way up the tendon. I saw the GP, who has sent me for a scan, which I will be having next week.
I just wondered what will happen next? Is the only treatment likely to be physiotherapy?
I'm a little concerned, as I have mid-foot arthritis in my right foot, which is causing me a lot of problems and I may have to have surgery on that next year.

I imagine after your scan results, the GP will either recommend physiotherapy or possibly refer you to a specialist who will undoubtedly find the best solution for the achilles tendon - especially the painful lump which should be seen to asap..

Off to get the Achilles tendon scanned next week. I was also diagnosed with hip bursitis two years ago and I think I may also have it in my shoulders. Don't know if the tendonitis and the bursitis are connected in any way, but it certainly makes life interesting!

I will not get any more injections for the foot because I hear too many collapses the ligaments. Walking DOES help arthritis especially with a good pair of thick soled walking shoes. Ah, the pains of life!

Anyway, she said that she would have to think about what to put into the report for the GP and I'll be going back to see him in a couple of weeks.
