Yes I am a fast bowler I feel pain when front foot impact ground and heel compressed

How do you tell the difference between a flare up and a re-injury?

I am a fast bowler so I got and posterior ankle impingement with Os trigonum since 2.5 months and still suffering from it but I don't feel pain during anything like sprinting and all but during specific position i.e in Plantar flexion position it causes the pain or in landing in the front foot position while bowling. So I am doing Rehab for months, should I have done surgery........

25:14 Awesome Content! 🎉 Here’s my situation: I’m in New York City, NY and we have these CitiBikes available for us. There are no gears and no way to use clip on shoes, but you can adjust the seat. About a month in, I love commuting with electric version of the bikes. I tend to do about a little over 7 miles per day of nonstop cycling. I don’t to get up off of the seat to use momentum, but instead plow through the uphills with sheer quad burning strength. I am 44, 6’0 in height and have just blown through my steady 142bpm to 150-152bpm. I’m not sure of the VO2 Max yet. I ended up developing Achilles tendonitis / tendinopathy in my left foot; around where the tendon meets the bone at the lower back of my left foot. Oh, I’m also right side dependent. And I tend to pedal with the balls of my feet, angled between 15 to 45 degrees… depending on whether I’m taking on an uphill or attempting to take full advantage of a downhill. I would love to hear more about how I can adjust the seat by measuring it against my hip and/or waist; and what training regimen can I do to rid of my ailment. I now wake up every morning with this acute pain and would need to hobble around for an hour or so; until the ever-present pain is bearable. Thank you so much for your help and thank you for sharing! ❤

Great advice, I developed some tendonites after running a 5k in zero drop and always using zero drop for doing a lot of milage the same week (around 18 miles a day of walking ) and being just going back and forth not knowing what to do or what the correct expected recovery time was for it so a lot of months have passed and started to run again with non zero drop shoes but really wanted to go back to zero drop and now I will try to take 3 to six months (i am 51 and overweight so i guess it will take a while) to ease in to it back again. Even the advice on how to complement strngth and training is very essential but clarified me now to do it, now i just need to apply it :) Btw zero drop, at least for me, are great for back and knees.

I partially tore my right Achille tendon, off my heel bone. Pain was unreal. Thought I just pulled my Tendon really bad. So I kept working. 2 1/2 weeks later I finally went to see an Ortho Doc. Recovery time took almost 5 months. This was back in 2001. My words of wisdom for this. If, you experience mind altering pain, get to the doctor fast.

This was really helpful, thank you! You mention strengthening the glute muscles, since squats would cause a dorsiflextion at the ankle, do you have any alternative strength exercises (for a home gym with dumbbells)? I’m heartbroken to think I won’t be able to run for 4 months or so - would any treadmill running with zero incline be okay in a month or so?

Are there potential negative effects on your calves if you run half a mile in zero drop and then run 2 miles in normal shoes immediately after?

Stretch your calves

This has to be the most asked question by those with Achilles issues. Get the fundamentals sorted first, good advice! 💪

Great to see a video going through the different areas of pain, so helpful 👍

What if there’s a slight bulge on Achilles, but not much pain and able to do all exercises without the pain?

Hello again im 4weeks post op krakow technique, Im still in cast and following your video exercise. Do you advice to use airboots at this week rather than splint? Thanks in advance

I need help in the worst way. Insertional tendinitis and the pain is debilitating. I'm fully limping and im unable to wear a shoe with any kind of backing. Ive been wearing high arch support choco slides. Im unable to go up or down stairs or even walk/stand without excruciating pain. When i wake up in the morning i have to crawl to the bathroom. This is the worst flare up ive ever had, and my appointment with the podiatrist isnt for 2 more weeks. Its so tight and nothing is making it release. Im tired of taking nasids like they're candy. I work in home health and i cannot continue to function like this.

Dry Needling was amazing! painful as hell but amazing! helped me in 2 sessions. i was screaming so much but felt relief right away honestly.

i absolutely agree on stretching. why would you stretch something already irritated? same with any other muscles and tendons. doctors still prescribe it.

Thanks on behalf of everyone that needed that explained . When I was 16, I had Haglunds bilateral corrective surgery, as an adult was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis which caused Achilles Entheos-itis. And progress to calcific tendinopathy and now have Haglunds deformity again at age 55 His diagnosis came 30 years after. No medical professional connected my constant heel issues with this autoimmune disease. The reason I’m telling you this to make it aware for people that have issues with their joints to get themselves checked out for other things. Thanks 🙏

How long does it take for the body to restore its previous collagen cycle after Fluoroquinolones?

Great explanation, thanks!

How long does it take for the body to restore the previous collagen cycle in the body?

As always a great and helpful video. I completely stopped doing any stretches after recovering from insertional achilles tendonitis. I only do massages and keep my foot in an 90+ degree angle to the leg. Had almost no issues so far. 👍

I’m more confused than ever… 🤨

Had a board slam into the back of my heel today went to the doctor and had some X-rays done found out I have bursitis and a bruised tendon I didn't get any info on how to help it... Although I will say this is very informative I'm learning a lot I was told that I can go back to doing anything I was doing before and I work as a CNA doing overnight care I end up running between 25 miles a night and just to take a break when I needed it

Hello with regards to exercises specially 3 to 6weeks post op. Is it daily or atleast a day rest?

It’s been 4 months conservertive has no result going in for surgery as suggested by my doctor

Hii if I have both midportion and insertional tendinopathy, is it okay if I do cald raises but on the floor and not the step? And what exercises do u recommend for people with both injuries.😢😢😢

I’m 4 weeks into my post op and I’m In a fiberglass cast, Why?😢

I’m not a runner and I have pain and swelling in the mid tendon area. It’s bilateral and I’m not a runner! What could be the cause?

Como puedo escuchar en español? Me operaron del tendón de Aquiles

Yeah, came Back from tendonitis after 2-3 days at full training and running

I am 71 and I was being treated in rehab for Achilles tendonitis and things were going well Unfortunately I stepped wrong and I ruptured it . Still waiting on a MRI for decisions on surgery or non surgical. Crutches and even the knee walker were too unstable for me. It’s a shame they don’t offer wheelchair but I got one. I am non weight bearing right now in a boot . I am concerned over the the long recovery but your videos are so helpful. Thank You

If it hurts only when I put a shoe on is it still achilles tendinitis? Because I can still walk with ease and pain free as well as running and jumping. But it really hurts when I have a shoe on.

Greetings, is the Tenex surgery the same as Key Hole surgery? I have heard that term that references a small laser incision on both sides of the tendon and the scar looks like a small key hole on the tendon. Is this the same type of surgery as Tenex?

Why can't they just make nice-looking shoes that support the feet properly? I work in an office and have meetings several times a week. Even if I didn't work in an office, I really dislike the look of the shoe options for support. If they're not outright ugly, they look like toy shoes or children's shoes.

I was 4 weeks since i had my emergency X'ray showing Diagnosed of DISLOCATION,STRAIN & SPRAIN OF Achilles Left Foot.I was in pain took pain killers given by my Orthopedic doctor & i also took Collagen Bone Complete for a month & exactly my 4 wks.i could walk & 2x visited my Physiotherapist .I am 64 female yrs.old & now i can now walk normally but in a slow step ,maybe sooner i'll be back my old ways walking so fast.

If hyaluronic acid suppliment helps tendon repair ?

Most useful video I have seen in a while. Thank you❤

Your vlogs are so fantastic!....I have watched almost all of them and they are full of info to help an achilles tendon in the event that training or racing has caused problems. So many of my questions have been answered by your vlogs....they are invaluable....Thank you!

BURSITIS SOLVED! After 2 falls in a short period of time, my right leg was completely stretched, I got swelling in my heel and a painful spot on the side. I went to an osteopath. He said that the joint had moved and was pulling the tendon and that caused the nerve in my heel to become inflamed. He put the joint back and adjusted my foot, I also bought insoles because I step on the outside edge of my foot first. I did alternating heating and cooling of my heel for 15 seconds, massage and applying comfrey ointment. The painful spot disappeared and the swelling is much less.

Olá Myrika!! Em tratamento conservador há 6 semanas (3 semanas e meia com gesso), ruptura parcial grave. Depois de tirar o gesso passei para a bota robô e faço os exercícios que vi em seu vídeo e de outros canais. Observei que aumentei a capacidade de elevação (em pé) e esta semana comecei exercícios na academia (nada que aconteça o alongamento do tendão), com cadeira extensora e bike. A dor no calcanhar está diminuindo e a força da panturrilha está voltando. Sinto bastante a progressão mas receio de estar apressando e prejudicar minha recuperação. Amanhã retorno ao ortopedista e verei se posso fazer fisioterapia. Seus vídeos estão me ajudando em minha recuperação, muito obrigada!!

Hi am I a good canidate for Tenex? Here is my exam notes and I am waiting for MRU scheduled Feb 5, 2025. FINDINGS: Examination of the right foot shows multifocal osteoarthrosis involving many of the interphalangeal joints most notably interphalangeal joint of the great toe. No fractures or erosions. Moderate size plantar spur seen. The Achilles shadow is markedly thickened and there are ossicles overlying the Achilles shadow. There is also a moderate sized Achilles enthesophyte present. There is a healed fracture deformity of the medial malleolus. Mild tibiotalar arthrosis

I think I have Achilles tendonitis from pushing my 92 year old Mother up a ramp in her wheelchair. She will never be out of the wheelchair. This is painful. I was taking advil, but I am a heart patient so that won't work. I got the boot to wear at night and while I am taking care of her. I have a small knot on that tendon. No time for a Dr. So trying to help myself. I am thinking wearing the boot fot about 2 weeks and see if that helps. Hoping for some other advice.

Excellent. This is the exact protocol I received from both my surgeon and PT. Take your time , don’t overdo it. It will all come together . I’m 62 and into my 10th week and doing well. Still some inflammation, soreness and achiness but getting better day by day.

Haha I'm one of the people that decided I will do a ton of strength training on top of whatever running I can handle... woopsie...

Net die raad wat ek nou benodig!

I had a 13 mm partial rupture in early December and tendinopathy by MRI, Dr told me to lift my heel a bit with a silicone heel pad in my shoe... is this enough for healing without a proper boot? Most sites recommend a boot but I've found two papers in which scientists suggested that conservative treatment with heel lift on shoe + allowing walking, swimming and cycling from the beginning + eccentric excercises after week 8, should be a good treatment. Why still most health and hospital providers recommend boot for 6 weeks? Also physiotherapists putting me to stretch from week 4, as for what I've read in your articles that is too early - they confessed they haven’t had patients with partial achilles rupture before -. When can you tell it is a good time to start stretching? Should I do a second MRI to check my improvement? Thank you!

I ruptured my achelis 3 weeks ago and can’t go to the hospital because of insurance reasons until the beginning of February, but I’ve been icing it and using a boot from Amazon. Do you think it will be complications with getting back to normal

I suffered with achilies tendinitis for months, resting it zero exercises and stretching with no let up or sign of healing. I started using tens pods and must say that within a month, the difference is amazing. I am not starting back light teaining and have ran 5k slow but moving.

2.5 cm complete rupture and I had no surgery.

Ruptured my Achilles three weeks ago. The issue I had is finding anyone that is prepared to provide a conservative option. I was at the orthopedic office within three hours of the injury. The PA immediately told me I was getting surgery and put me in a boot. At that time I didn’t know there was a non surgical option. It was six days before I met with the surgeon who then told me about the non surgical option but recommended surgery. So then I was uncertain about which way to go. After all that time had passed I felt like the only option I had was surgery. Apparently it’s not much of an option in America.
