Who suffers from tendinitis??

[CobraUTAH]

I have flat feet and I train hard which is not fun for my ankles and recently I've begun to experience what I believe to be achilies tendinitis. How do I know for sure? Do I have to stop training to get better, is there any other way?

See a podiatrist and get some 'orthotics' (special customised inner-soles) for your shoes.

 

[CobraUTAH]

Thanks, but I got those already. I just don't wear them regularly enough.

 

[Zander1983]

Wear them. Flat feet problem solved.

"Doctor, it hurts when I do this..."

 

[CobraUTAH]

Well maybe I'll heed your advice and wear them. They are such a pain in the ass when you have more than one pair of shoes, I never know where they are.

 

[Zander1983]

Obviously its difficult to do 100% of the time. Fortunately, you don't need them in constantly to make a difference. Nevertheless, wear them as much as possible, especially when running and the like.

Both elbows. Lots of Bextra and ice.

I like bextra, it does wonders after about two weeks. Oddly enough celebrex helps me too.

Why wouldn't it? It's an anti-inflamatory.
