Ok so I was diagnosed with achilles tendinitis in december, and the doctors thought it was weird I have it since I am not an athlete and I am only 19 (they said most people don't get it like me until their like 40's) It causes me constant pain, I have stabbing pain, burning sensations, and just aching in the inner and outer sides of my ankle all the time, no exceptions. I can barely walk cause of it, it hurts to drive, and I can't sleep because it hurts. I have tried EVERYTHING to get it to go away. I have worn a cast for 2 months, I did physio, I got ART treatments, I wear orthotics, I ice it daily, I did ultrasound treatments, and I just finished a series of super expensive laser treatments that did nothing and I get no relief from painkillers, they don't work on me. It is just really starting to mess with my head and I break down crying like every day because it hurts all the time! I am supposed to be going to college in sept but I actually think I might not be able to go because I can't drive there nor can I walk to my classes! I am going to see a surgeon in sept, has anyone had surgery on this and did it help? what other things can I do to get some relief? Please, if you have fixed your tendinitis tell me how you did it.
