How much weight per week to add is it 5 pounds a week or 10 pounds a week

Thank you, ma'am. I recently had insertional Achilles tendonitis. This is how I got the pain. My daily routine includes using the treadmill in the morning and in the evening, at a maximum inclination and a speed of 4 mph for 25 minutes. I have been doing this routine for almost 2 years now. In addition, I barely play tennis, and just two weeks ago (Sept 29), I had the opportunity to play tennis again after being unable to play for two months. Three days after my game, I felt a strong, sharp pain at the back of my heel. I am unable to use my left foot; I can't put it on the ground because the pain is unbearable. After two days, I went to the doctor and had X-rays taken, and we found out that my uric acid is high, around 420, and I also discovered a small posterior calcaneal spur at the lowest part of my heel. But the doctor just gave me a prescription for the uric acid and no action on the small bony calcaneal spur. So that's why I researched the treatment for my heel pain and found your videos. I follow your other videos on doing calf raises, and I bought a foam roller; then after two weeks of not being able to walk, I can now start walking (Oct 15) but in a conservative manner. I don't want to rock the boat for now. But I am gradually exerting additional force to get used to it. I just want to express my gratitude to you, ma'am, for being a very positive and optimistic lecturer about this injury. I hope you will help many other people suffering from this problem. Thank you, ma'am.

Thanks for sharing, and good luck with the rest of your recovery!

The advice you give in your videos is so good, and so effective. Just wish I’d found your channel sooner. Thanks!

Brilliant I'm so glad i found your Video...i was doing the heel stretches and stopped after seeing this video and it is now really helping my heel Haglund's bump. .thank you

[@TreatMyAchilles]

You're welcome!

[@marekburkiewicz6277]

Yes, this is a very good procedure. Often inconsistent with the recommendations of the orthopedist. Doctors do not like rehabilitation specialists. (in Poland). Thank you for the very professional lectures. Best regards

You're welcome!

Thank you very much for your support!

I followed your advice after a mild form of this about 12 weeks back and i don't have any symptoms anymore, I stopped doing these stretches, and reintroduced then in a milder form and am very careful not to force into that stretch. Also avoided standing on bare feet for a couple of weeks.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the advice on not to stretch I've been doing that cause I've always been told it is good. Would you recommend cycling to improve the condition.

[@TreatMyAchilles]

Cycling can actually sometimes irritate it but it depends on how sensitive your specific case is - it is not something I would add in during the early rehab stages when the tendon is still easy to irritate but it is something to try once your pain has settled down a bit.

Can you recommend specific shoes (brand / model if you have) for a man with such diagnosis…to offload the pressure for the first few months? Thank you in advance!

[@TreatMyAchilles]

It is really hard to know what shoes will work for you because we all have different shaped feet, but these might be worth trying: ✅ Most Asics sneakers/trainers have a good heel-to-toe drop but they may press on the back: geni.us/wTJOAs3 ✅ Unisex sandals with heel-to-toe drop: geni.us/aE7rQf2 ✅ Men's sandals with heel-to-toe drop: geni.us/bb5EXd

I'm so confused. Ive done calves raises for years, both bodyandght and with weights. Minimum of 5 sets of 20. But the tendinitis/bursitis/tendinitis has been forre for 12 or more years. Podiatrist tells me to stretch or do surgery where he cuts the muscle to "elongate". My calves are strong. So what is missing here or being done wrong? Used to run marathons and now havent run moore than 4 miles in years.

[@TreatMyAchilles]

When it comes to exercises and rehab, it is important that the exercises are tailored to you. Things that can affect the outcome is the type of calf raise (is it what your specific case needs), how many you are doing (more is not always better), what weight you are using (does the weight match your injury's sensitivity and the demands of your activity), but also about what else you are doing in your life. We often find that people are just given basic exercises or doing stuff they found on the internet that are not right for them and that is why their pain continues.
