My sports are football and track&field (100m and 200m sprinting).
I have discomfort in my left Achilles Tendon and I'm paranoid because football starts in 11 days and i know Achilles injuries can be slow to recover and serious
Here is how it happened:
I was lifting yesterday and doing some Clean lifts (5 sets, 3 reps, heavy weight). I don't really remember feeling anything painfull, just when i landed with the weight, i felt slight discomfort in my left lower leg that didn't feel normal. So i figured i'd stop after my 4th set.
When i got home i realized that if i went on my toes i felt discomfort in my achilles tendon in my left leg. It isn't painfull, and i can go on my toes easily, its just uncomfortable and feels wrong.
SO MY QUESTIONS:
Is this something I should worry about?
Is this normal?
How long before this should feel better? And can i keep training on it?
And can i sprint train in my new cleats to break into them? Or should not do anything until everything feels normal?
