Developed Pain In The Heel, Along The Side While Running With Swelling And Discoloration
Hi. I was recently trying to exercise and get in shape by running. I was up to running 6 miles and suddenly while running developed pain in the heel, along the side. It is painful to walk, but not to stand. There is pain when pushing in on both sides of the achilles tendon, but directly on the achilles, a little below the ankle bones. There is also swelling and some discoloration. I would appreciate any advice. I have been icing and taking ibuprofen.
This is sever muscle spasm of tendon achillis. You should start with put them in cold water. Applying analgesics cream twice daily and use non steroidal antiinflammatory drugs and muscle relaxant tablet 3 times daily for two weeks. Take rest for 10 days.
