Achillies and Ankle Tendonitis

[Rough Mix]

Anyone ever get this from running? Someone I am going out of the country with Friday for a week has developed this over the last two weeks and can barely walk. I know about rest, arch inserts and Advil, but is there anything else that helps? I've been told it can lead to a rupture, and I'm worried about that.

I am going to PM DocTalk also, but any advice or suggestions that can be passed along would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If the Mods feel this belongs on the Livestrong thread, please move it.
