I damaged my Achilles Tendon 3 years ago. I was 61 years old, in a lot of pain and worried about a permanent injury. So after limping for 12 months getting rubbish advice from doctors, I got some old time home remedy advice and soaked my complete foot in a warm solution of Epsom Salts twice a day. TWO WEEKS later no pain, completely healed, no recurrence. Thought I should let you all know.

[@hatim8498]

thanks for the advice :)

[@maza69rp]

[@mrkim8822]

did you add anything else besides the epsom salt

[@locphu1001]

What is epsom salt? Is it similar to normal salt?

[@BlackcurrantJam]

Epsom salts is Magnesium sulfate, great for muscles but I agree with cool... it does work. it brings great relief when added to bath and also detoxifies body during bath but you need at least 30-40min in the bath/ you go in the hottest water you can stand.

[@marisolmoroe6879]

I’ve been having problems with my Achilles Tendonitis for over a year now. The podiatrist just gave me stretch exercises and told me to wear a night sprint to bed and nothing worked. Yesterday I woke up and couldn’t put any weight on my right foot. I was going to call my podiatrist but I decide to check KZbin for any information on Achilles Tendonitis and found your video. The massage helped me tremendously and now I can walk with no pain. You saved me trip to the Doctor and money. Thank you, thank you so much for your informational video.

[@dejeon0195]

This is the best I came across for my tendonites problem. This young man has knowledge and knows how to pass it for those who need.

[@carolinafranco8314]

You are the best! Amazing, clear information with tons of take aways that are helping me recover from very painful conditions. You have a unique gift. I wish you all the best.

[@85nickelos]

Funny another youtuber is selling his book to reverse tendonitis/fasciitis. I haven't read it, bout looks like you're giving away probably the same knowledge for free. Much appreciated sir!

[@natalienaranjo9597]

You're such a smart, amazing young adult! Keen up the good work!

[@dustylynn5113]

as a nurse I so appreciate your knowledge on the physical aspects I have been dealing with plantar fasciitis and achilles tendonitis for 9 months now and no one has mentioned the importance of dietary issues and I knew there must have been a reason for chronic inflammation in that area so watching your video today confirmed that for me so appreciate the knowledge to tackle this at its root issue and not just symptomatic problem

[@podgurje100]

Same situation here. I have heard for this issue not long ago.

[@mattfrench884]

God Bless this young Man. He’s given me more info then two different podiatrist I’ve seen this year. Bravo.

[@andrewsteineke6020]

You're awesome! Thanks for the advice and tips. Have been dealing with Achilles Tendonitis for 6 months now, but starting to get over it.

[@amandarenske]

Brilliant. Everything you want from a 'how to vid.' Really practical and pack with info from someone who has used the techniques, big thanks.

[@freeheelpainhelp]

+amandarenske sure thing!! Glad you like it :)

[@Manuator666]

The most informative video on this topic i've seen! Thank you!

[@leslie5882]

I am so glad I checked out your video! Just massaging the tendon has made me feel less pain! Thank you so much for posting this!

[@fraseranimation]

Thank you. This was very helpful. I really appreciate that you made this and shared it.

[@danajohnson6273]

So I have to update since using your recommendation of Vitamin Combo. I had a 30% tear in my right achilles that WOULDN'T heal (diagnosed with an MRI). I found your video after 1 year of pain and hobbling. In 3 months of putting your suggestions to use, the pain was gone. And after another couple of months making sure it was totally healed and stretched, I'm back to running! So, Vitamin K2, Vitamin A, Vitamin D (fish oil) combo healed it. I didn't change my diet, but I REDUCED sugar intake, drank more water, stretched slowly, BUT still ate out a lot 😞. It still healed and bc I'm running again, I'm eating clean and everything is perfect. I'm 43 and felt like I was 80. Now I feel like I'm 30 again. You changed my life. 💛 THANK YOU!!

[@philmcgain3703]

Thanks so much. Your a smart kid. Better than most doctors. I've had Achilles insertional problem for 4 years, last month it finally got too bad to run, because I over did it on hills and pushed too hard in a race while it was aggravated. I've stopped running now for 3 weeks, started all these types of treatment and seen amazing progress already. I can walk with no pain, morning there is no pain. Changed my diet and feel great. I hope to run again easy in a month, but I'm being patient this time. thanks again.

[@davecross4493]

I was a bit unsure about this when you started naming every nutrient under the sun at the start of your video, but then you went into so much detail and have so many methods that I'm forced to think you know more about this than any other source I've tried. Thank you.

[@kellynickell8195]

you rock! I just saw a P.T. for this very issue. worked too hard, too deep and said he didn't know why there was a big , hot bump in the middle of my Achilles tendon! Thanks so much for this tutorial!

[@christimar4376]

I'm so impressed by your knowledge base. Thanks for the info! I have achilles issues following partial knee replacement.

[@kazverstraete5056]

First of all, thank you so much! Best video here on You Tube. I swim, bike, run a lot, eat quite healthy, though had some unhealthy habits that i think wrecked my recovery. I felt like really "not on point" regarding my health. Drinking too much coffee, 7 to 8 coffees per day. Kicked out the coffee, now about 2 per week. Started drinking green tea, and lots of water. No snacking at night, maybe just some yoghurt with like pure cacao bits, and blueberries, lots of antioxidants. Then, the scraping with the wrench was so powerful. When I started there was a lot of granular tissue, but after a week, everything is already a lot smoother. Actually ran also 35k last week. Injury still not completly gone, but the progress is massive. Thanks again!!

[@MegaKB33]

Absolutely the best and most informative information I have come across so far. Thank you, I have chronic Achilles tendon issues right at the cusp of the heel. I recently discovered about massaging the calves and both were knotted up. This issue has cause me to go broke because I can't work. Thank you so much.

You sir are very informative. You will be the next Jeff Cavalier in your own right. So many angles covered in this video from even mentioning the western shoe with the elevated heel. I have tendonitis at my achilies junction after trying to mobilise my ankle before stretching my calf. I started wearing barefoot shoes with correct toes. Minus the injury the gains of my feet hitting the floor as they should with the response is immense.

[@Psysso]

Thanks for this, im a long distance runner in my final 2 weeks before my first road marathon and im having achillies and calf chronic pain on and off for about half a year now. I found the compression socks do wonders for me after and during hard training, knew most of these methods but you gave me some new aspects of trying to sort it out regarding nutrients. As an endurance athlete i eat alot of carbs and sugars as you might suspect, also i consume alot of gojis and superfoods, had no clue it can have bad effect on those parts. thx

[@warriorethos8569]

crni_tekac I noticed from the comments of the Achilles Tendinitis video your endurance training. It’s been two years since you commented. I am in the same training boat and you basically summed up my experience this summer. How has your calves/AT been and what worked best to cure and what are you doing to maintain health? Hope you reply, much thanks!

[@podgurje100]

@@lurker-mq4fp I have it now for almost two years :( How did you solved it?

[@lurker-mq4fp]

@@podgurje100 I had to firstly find shoes that properly fitted me. I had 2 cortisone injections in the bottom of my left heel (the 2nd one seemed to work a lot better). I drank a lot more water during the day, and I stretched my calf religiously. I cut out tomatoes and fizzy drinks as I heard that acid was related to inflammation. Even when it was painful to walk on it I had to get the leg strong again so I had to persist through the pain barrier. It will go away, you have to play the long game, sadly.

Thanks for the tutorial. Very helpful. Have been seeing podiatrist who gave me prednisone and (Footsteps brand) orthotics for plantar and very sore achilles. (I have a hump/bump on the heel)Currently wearing Brooks running shoes. Have been doing prescribed stretches and using golf ball treatment - has been helpful, but plan to incorporate your therapies as I seem to have hit a wall and hope your suggestions will get me the rest of the way. One quick question and welcome any thoughts: I also experience nerve pain at the point where my foot pad and 3rd toe meet. Very painful and comes and goes. Ideas or suggestions would be most appreciated.
