I hurt my Achilles tendon at the gym. 🙁 I keep letting it rest. Even took a couple days off at the gym... The pain went away, but after going back it's hurting again. 😫

Be careful! I ruptured mine doing martial arts and I had to get surgery and physical therapy...

...took almost 9 months to get better...

@SumKindaMunster Oooh no, I'm sorry 🤗 I'm glad you're better

@JupiterDreams Thank you! I credit my surgeon and my willingness to do the physical therapy needed.

Go easy on it. Let it rest. It takes awhile but you want it to heal.

Achilles injuries take a while to heal. Maybe wearing an ankle brace would help? It would at least serve as a reminder to take it easy on that tendon.

@VeronicaPrincess Maybe, I'll think about it :)
Need to see a Tennessee doctor

@jjoe01 But they'll inject me with Tennessee blood 🙁
Have you stretched sufficiently?
JupiterDreams · 31-35
@RandomForest Yeah... But maybe I don't do it well enough 🙁
@JupiterDreams If you are strengthening, you have to lengthen as well. This is my "not a physical therapist" opinion. Be careful :)

@BettyBeez I'll be okay 🙁 I shan't give up
@JupiterDreams just be careful- don’t strain it further
