ankle sprain/partially torn achilles

[TexasLuckyDog]

I have stuggled for the last 9 months with foot problems. I'm 48 years old and I can believe this has dragged on this long. I was doing jumping jacks last December and felt something POP in my achilles/heel area. I had to wait a month to see a Dr and then wore a boot. Seemed OK with boot - always swollen in heel/ankle without. Never really was given a good diagnosis - so much soft tissue it is difficult to know what exactly popped loose.

Now trying a massage therapist - given up on Dr. Things are going a little better but he advises nothing but rest. We reached an agreement that a few short rides a week are OK but if things do not improve he will revoke that privledge soon.


I would not underestimate any foot injury - slow to heal and often difficult to diagnose problem.
