My girlfriend weighs 350 lbs and is getting enormous pain in one of her achilles tendons.
It's OK when she rests it, but after a bit of walking on it, it causes her a lot of pain, her ankle swells right up and is very tender.
I've looked online and all the information seems to amount to: stop running for a while. Stop running? She's in agony just walking.
I have no idea whether it's bad footwear, a lack of exercise or something else entirely, but I'm looking ideas of treatments. The internet advice is all about prevention, but obviously it's too late for that.
Any suggestions?
