Question:
I damaged my calf muscle, which is now well healed, but have secondary issues with Achilles tendon.?
My Achilles tendon is now hurting from how I have had to limp. Orthopedist put me in a boot and prescribed an Nsaid. I am looking for a natural anti inflammatory. Homeopathic, herbal, nutraceutical, I don't care. Any ideas?
Answers:
Ask your ortho about physical therapy or massage therapy. If the tendon is causing you pain, it may be tight. I don't think a boot will help other than keeping the tendon from moving. Did you avoid using the calf muscle while it healed? The tendons attached to the calf muscles would be affected as well.
