Question: Snow border suffers stiffness in both Achilles…can’t get to a doctor

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

i have been getting a pain and stiffness in both my Achilles whenever I get up from a rest, for example after sleep or after a meal, a journey sitting down etc, making it difficult to walk, it only lasts around 5-10 mins each time. It started last winter when I worked in a ski resort and snowboarded a few times a week it then stopped for a while then it started again, and most times after a sit down a few months ago, I’m not a runner or anything. Is there anything I should be worried about or anything I can do ? I can’t really get to a doctor at the moment

hi..
it may be due to achillis bursitis causing inflammation at the achilles insertion at the calcaneal bone.
it usually goes away spontaneously.
take anti inflammatory tablets and analgesics.
hot water fomentation twice a day will help a lot.
use soft footwear.
if unrelieved you can get a xray / mri done.
thanks
