Achilles tendon all the sudden hurting?

Monday, August 30th, 2010

I just started walking one day and the inside of my achilles tendon just started hurting then i sat down and it kept hurting until about two minutes later and now doesn't hurt unless i put pressure on it. I know that i didn't have tendonitis before but is it possible that i have it now? If you have any ideas what it is please answer soon. Thank You!

Fractured Fibula Question?

Sunday, August 29th, 2010

I fractured my fibula on July 19th. Shortly there after, my doctor recommended surgery to install a plate and six screws to fix the fracture as well as the slight displacement of my ankle joint. I recieved the surgery on July 29th. After surgery, I received a two part cast that was wrapped in numerous ace bandages for one week.

After that one week, I was put in a hard cast for two weeks. Now, the hard cast has been removed and I am in a large removable walking boot. The doctor recommended that when I remove the boot, that I should attempt "up and down" movement of my foot.

Here's my question; While I can move my foot up and down, it can't move nearly as far up and down as my other foot. When I try to make it move as far, I feel as though my Achilles tendon restricts it as it becomes very very tight. It doesn't hurt BUT it's as though I am stretching it and it won't move as far as I want.

When will my foot have the up and down mobility that my opposite foot has? AND, is it normal to have this limited amount of up and down mobility that I am experiencing? AND is there anything I can do to make the process go quicker?

THANKS
Some extra details are that I am a 24 years old Non-smoking male. I have had the hard cast for two weeks and have been in and out of other casts for close to 4 weeks.

For example, I was at the shoe store and I was trying on shoes and I ran up and down the aisle and by the time I'd taken them off it was hurting. It'll usually hurt for about 5ish minutes. I know it wasn't the shoes because it happens in other shoes or when I'm barefoot. thanks!
