Achilles Tendon Pain

Posts Tagged ‘from’

46yrs, got hurt at work 16yrs ago. lost workers comp case. that same year, i’m talking ruptured disc’s. i’ve been puttin out eversince general labor. now i’m to the point i can work 2 or 3 days pretty good then the pain is to much to be productive, no employer would keep me… last mri, doctor said back of a 90 yr old. l-1 thru l-4 herniated. [lower lumbar]. degenerative bone disease, arthritis. now i have muscle atrophy in left leg calf. [no muscle tissue]. both feet are in real pain [tendonitis] and a torn achillies tendon. right ankle. i think depression has taken my mind over. .. I’m too young to retire. and to old to keep up. 2 child support payments, 10 more yrs of payment there… mortgage and bills like everybody else.. 11th grade education… i’m lost guys. i know ssi will deny me ? they will say i can answer a phone, but how can i provide for kids on a min. salary, … ? kinda scared..

I have tendinitis in my ankles and I had a bad case of shin splints. X-ray shows that my shins are normal, but since they still hurt I may have a stress fracture. My doctor recommended me to rest for two more weeks and do physical therapy before I get a bone scan, because I may not have stress fracture. After 2 weeks it’ll be a total of 5 weeks that I’m unable to run. I just want to start running again because I’m already 3 weeks late into my XC season.

So what would I expect from Physical Therapy?
What are some things they will do/I may have to do?

Ok to be specific, the muscles that are causing my pain are my Achilles tendons and Peroneus Brevis.

It is not a cramping feeling, but its more like a shaky tingly feeling. Whenever I run, every step feels weird, like I am about to fall down.

I talked to my sergeant about this, he was like “your body is adapting to your intense training, take 1-2 days off”. I took 4 days off and this is my 4th day. There is no pain when I walk but it revs up when I run.

Main vitamins I take are: D3 (calcium magnesium zinc), dL-Alpha (vitamin e), CoD (liver oil)
Supplements: OxyElite pro

What should I do now? I start my training again tomorrow :s
BTW for me to use oxy on my training tells you that I am doing a killer workouts. The majority of it are cardio based, I wouldn’t want my muscles to be used as energy :p

My husband has had 2 surgeries this year for his Achilles tendon, its been a month and a half since his last surgery and he complains a lot it hurts… wears his boot and uses crutches in public… but when he’s home, he walks around fine. Never takes his meds… and he seems fine to me… same way he was after the first surgery. He even went hiking!

He was considering med boarding from the Army… I just don’t feel its right. For one: When he was talking about it he mentioned getting a part time job and finishing school -he does online schooling and hasn’t touched it at all, I’ve offered to help him with it too, he just has an excuse for everything-. He said a part time job would just be extra money that comes with the disability. I just don’t see that as being a man… and it wouldn’t pay the bills.

It’d be one thing if he said “I’m going to work full time, so we KNOW we have money and to start a family, and continue my online schooling” but if he did this… I would be working full time so he can work part time and finish school…. when I’d like to finish school myself… I’d be giving up my dreams, yet again, to be with him. Because he doesn’t want to work like every other person.

He has no real plan if he gets out…
I would prefer if he stuck this out and worked towards his promotion to e-5. But then he says he will be stuck at e-4 unless he can pass a PT test…. and he just acts like he cant do it because ‘my foot hurts’… he’s pretty much telling me he’s going to be stuck at e-4… so in my eyes, we’re screwed no matter what… I’m scared!
I’ve lost my respect for him because my whole life I’ve seen my dad struggle with no cartlidge in his knees, them popping out and having serious pain, but still working his butt off to support our family… with terrible jobs -thank God he got a break with a great job now…- but he still has serious problems! My husband acts like his problem is so much serious and he needs to be babied, that my father’s problem is nothing… he needs to grow up! He needs to be a man… a husband, and soon a father!

What do I do? Am I just wasting my time? I love him very much and I want to try to make this work because I don’t want to get divorced over something that can be worked out; but it really bothers me that he has no goals in life and no plan… that he really isn’t ready to be out in the real world, that he has to stay in the military because of that, but he’s too lazy to work towards his promotion. I just don’t want to feel like I’m pulling this relationship on my own…. that I have to drill things into his head to make him understand, that the ‘plans’ he has, just wont work. I’ve given him so many chances to make his plans work, and he never follows through.
I’m not going to work my butt off, on top of taking care of children, to just watch him slack on schooling like is continuing to do, to be okay with a part time job -if he can even find one with the economy-. I just don’t want divorce as my option…

Any advice? Thank you very much ahead of time.

I really thought I was doing good about relaxing my achilles tendon once I’m all the way up on pointe but the other day I went up on releve and I felt something snap when I went all the way up. It didn’t hurt terribly bad but it hurt a lot worse than what I’m used to. Everything feels ok now, no swelling or pain now that I’m just walking around my house barefoot.
I’ve been feeling some minor pain when I rise up on pointe anyway, it was just particularly bad yesterday. Is there no way around this? What else can I do to prevent damaging my tendons?

I love my pointe shoes so much and I really don’t want to ever have to quit because I stupidly hurt myself somehow.

anyone have any suggestions how to keep from crying while at work/school/etc?

when it comes to pain i’m certainly not a baby. i’ve torn my achilles tendon in half and have had stress fractures in my back which i went to a cheerleading competition and competed on. if i take a hard hit or something i never cry.

BUT if it’s something emotional i can’t keep from crying. if i’m extremely angry or frustrated i’ll cry.

Example: i’m in a pretty serious Physical Therapy program and earlier this semester i had a test which i accidentally fell asleep while studying for it. if you don’t get at least a 3.0 each semester you get booted, so after i finished my test and i didn’t feel great about it i started to tear up and my professor saw me. it was SO embarassing. i rushed out of there before my classmates saw.

please, any ideas? i want to get this under control before i start working full-time. what if i mess up on the job and start crying?
and don’t tell me to “think happy thoughts” because that doesn’t seem to help once i start tearing up…

I traveled to Mexico and got a really bad bacterial infection and the doctor proscribed a drug called Ciproflaxasin to me to get rid of the infection and i am a advid runner and since i have been on it i have been experiencing tendon soreness/pain particularly in my achilles.. i called my doctor and stopped the meds today immediatly. But now i am starting to feel completely week for no reason… the worst head ache and sick to my stomach… is it possible to be going through withdrawals? Ive only been on the medication for just under a week!
