Achilles Tendon Pain

Posts Tagged ‘PLEASE’

I am nearly 17 and have had bad knees and ankles for over 3 years and have now developed pain in nearly every joint in my body. could I have arthritis? I know it is possible for teens to develop arthritis but I just can’t tell if I have. I can crack every one of my joints (neck, elbows, shoulders, knees, ankles, wrists, fingers, toes, back, hips, and jaw). Could I have tendonitis or arthritis or neither?HELP!! I am also very stressed out with my lifestyle. I have not been as physically active until now. I used to ride horses but quit and developed more joint pain and am now afraid to go back to riding. I am also in dance but my joints prevent me from thoroughly enjoying myself. Please help me!!!!

I drink soda very rarely and am very thin and lightweight for those who made comments relative to those factors.

Sorry! I screwed up with the details! oops.

i’ve had ankle pain for almost 4 years now on and off. the first year i had it i went to an orthopedic and i was told i have peroneal tendinitis because i have high arches. they told me i should do 6 weeks of physical therapy to strengthen the tendon, so i did. when i finished the pain seemed to go away for a few months then it would come back randomly. i had this pain on and off a year after i finished physical therapy. this last year i had it again but much worse where i could walk on it and had to go to the hospital. they took x rays and told me i didn’t break anything so they gave my an air cast and crutches for a few weeks until i had my appt. with the orthopedic. when i went to him he told me to do physical therapy again so i did and it got better for about 3 months and now im having horrible ankle pain with bruising and swelling. what should i do now? if i go back to the dr hes just going to send me to physical therapy AGAIN! please help me. thank you =]

I am really stressed and my ankles are killing me, because of my tendonitis. HERE IS A HUG FOR YOU!!! ♥HUG♥

Okay well i just found out that since i have horrible tendinitis in my ankles and knees i can no longer figure skate. I have been for my whole life and i now have to quit. So i am 13 years old going into 8th grade and would like to take up Soccer. But the thing is that i have never played my entire life and dont have the equipment either. It doesnt matter how much it costs my parents are willing to pay so money doesnt matter. And i dont even know the basics of soccer and please teach me how to play and possibly some links to equipment/gear that i need to play. Thank you soo much this really means a lot!

hi,
i think i might have tendonitis in my achilles so im gonna try to make this short and sweet b/c im in dire need of advise.
i play softball everyday for my school. its very strict if i get hurt, i have to fix it fast or i dont play….. i want to play bad.
a few days ago while running the back of my ankle began to hurt but i continued to perform at my best and ignored the pain. yesterday at practise it really began to hurt me so i started a limp to ease up on it but still performed regardless. today im paying for it. it hurts so bad i can barley walk on it and when i do i cant help but limp. i havent told my coach and i really dont want to go to the doc so is there something i can do to heal it myself?
if this is tendinitis what does this mean? will i always have problems with it? can it be healed?
please help and thank you.

Last week, my right ankle seemed swollen, so I went to the Urgent Care, and got examined by a doctor. He took my blood pressure, it was perfect he said, and after taking a look at my ankle, he told me it was tendinitis, due to the fact that the swelling is only in one ankle, and my BP was perfect, he also said that pre- eclpampsia is more likely in the 3rd trimester.

So this afternoon, I was laying outside, watching my son in the pool, and noticed that my other ankle is swollen (the swelling from the other one disappeared for about a week, but now it’s slightly swollen again, along with the other one).

Is this a cause for concern?
Should I go back to the doctor tomorrow, or just wait till my next Obstetrician appt on August 25th?

Help!

I worked for a company in August, 2007. I got injured on the job that put me out of work for almost 7 months. I received extensive damage to my foot that includes, nerve damage, tendonitis ( stretched all the tendons around both sides of my ankle ), cartilage damage. My ankle is not great and I have good and bad days with it. My doctor released me last week. Workers Comp doctor says nothing is wrong, but my doctor says there is alot wrong and my physical therapist was working with my foot and it turned blue while they were working on my foot. It goes numb all the time. If workers comp settles the claim, what number would I even start to think about when it comes to settling ?

The company called me up a little over a week after the accident. They asked me if I turned the injury in on my insurance or through workers comp…I told them comp and they told me they didn’t need me anymore and laid me off. They sent me a layoff slip in the mail. Is that against the law ?
Thanks in advance
I need to know what kind of money I should try to settle the claim for due to the ankle injury. What number should I think is a GOOD number and NOT a bad number because comp will try to get by with a little bit of nothing.

I went to the doctor and found out that i have tendinitis in my ankle. I told the doctor about the mass amount of pain that I’ve been in and he said since it’s not that major, icing it and taking Advil will do the trick. The only issue that no matter how much I ice my ankle, it still kills. What should I do?

Well, I just started back into volleyball after not playing for over a year due to a shoulder injury.
We have only had 2 practices – both 2 and 1/2 hours. I also suffer from chronic achitendinitisnitis (I’ve been in a cam walker on and off for several years – and physical therapy).The first practice I took really slow and didn’t care if I was the last person to finish drills….I just wanted to prevent working myself too hard and prevent injury. My heel was hurting pretty bad when I left but I went home, iced it, and it was better the next morning (this morning). I went to practice again this morning and it didn’t hurt at all…until the end of practice when i was hitting and felt a sharp pain in my heelimmediatelyiatly had to stop hitting. There was a pop/crack (so its not ruptured). It started throbbing, lots of pain (cried later when I got home and no one could see ha ha), and now is tingling, almost numb.
I’m icing it and taking an anti inflammatory regimen the orthopaedic recommend before coming to the doctor.
My question is how long i should wait – I used to just come to the doctor as soon as it happened. But now I want to wait a little bit….how many days should I wait (ie – how many days should I ice/rest before going to the doctor.

BTW – I can’t stand up on my toes without A LOT of pain….and I won’t be practicing tomorrow

THANKS

I´m a tennis player, been playing for 18 yrs.
12 months ago I started with the tendonitis, I have tried anti inflamatory drugs, ice, physical therapy (stretching and stregthening), inmovilization of the foot for 2 months, then I started physical therapy again, but the pain came back.
Today, after going up 700 stairs in a mountain yesterday, I found that there is a bump I did not had, but the pain is the same, not worsened… I don´t know what to do, ´cause the last doctor I saw, told me that they never do surgery, just when the tendon is ruptured.
