Hi guys, I have had an issue with both Achilles tendons for a year.
I am 45 years old, ex 5.0, I suffer from tendons, the morning (very stiff since one year), a little better after a few minutes, but I almost completely stop playing tennis like i would like.
Running is no longer natural as it used to be. Doing some tennis footwork seems difficult now.
I have tried everything since january 2020. Pain started on this date.
. Recently 12 shockwave therapy sessions on my tendons (didn't work)
. Stretching, stanish, foam roller every day (not working)
. Sports clinic - july and december 2020 - Release of trigger points (didn't work)
. Ultrasound (october 2020 ) : Impression "Mild tendinosis of both the right and left achilles tendons. Mild Peritendinous fluid about the right achilles tendon as well as mild retrocalcaneal bursitis - the right and left plantar fascial attachment was normal"
. Self massage everyday (not working)
. Custom sole (by a Podiatrist) since july 2020 (not working)
. Blood test - october 2020 - everything is ok
. Ray-x (november 2020) shows nothing to the bones
. I have flat feet - starting exercices since a week. No improvement for now.
. Soaking in ice water 15x per day for 15 seconds ankles foot - Ice (didn't work)
. Heat (didn't work)
. Strasburg sock at night - (not working)
. No dental issues.
. Mental Health problems ?
Yes, It's starting to seriously affect me LMAO !
I don't want to stop playing tennis and competition. And I won't.
What do you advise me to do now ?
Thank you !
