Achilles tendon pain, what to do?

22-year-old woman2 years ago

I have pain in my arch tendon when I walk and it pulls back from my ankle to my calf. I have tried ice before but it doesn't work. Do I have to go to the hospital or is there another way to solve this problem?

Hello, sorry to read about your troubles!

The best solution is a physiotherapy consultation. They are the professionals best placed to assess the pain and develop a treatment plan that is realistic for you. Most group insurance plans cover this type of service.
