Achilles Tendon:Rupture or Soreness? |
I hurt my achilles tendon about four weeks ago when undergoing major Tae Kwon Do training with ankle weights. Since the weekend it first began hurting, I have stopped the weights, iced the area, and attempted to self cast the injury with no success. I am hoping to go to the National Qualifier for Tae Kwon Do in late March and need to heal quickly. I am confused with what I have, as I can walk easily, and sometimes run, but at other times I have trouble even standing. I am going to take the next two weeks completely off, with no physical activity that deals with my right(injured) foot, and will be walking with crutches. Is this the right thing to do? Does anyone know what problem I have or what more to do? Should I be healed in time? Thank you for any information. I am sorry to hear about your injury but just want you to know that this is a very common injury. The Stretching Institute has compiled a very comprehensive series on Achilles Tendon Injuries. I have a ruptured achilles. The doctor had me lay on my stomache with my legs bent up at the knees. My injured foot hung a lot lower than the uninjured and then he squeezed my calf. The uninjured foot jumped when it was squeezed, the ruptured one had no movement. This may help you decide if it is sore or ruptured, but I would definitely suggest that you go see a doctor asap. Sounds more like Achilles tendinitis than a rupture. Latest evidence shows that stretching and eccentric strengthening is fastest way to get over Achilles tendinitis. |
