In june last year i damaged /tore my achilles tendon when i slipped trying to kick a football . I phoned the doctors a week or so later after i noticed it was not getting any better and he organised an online consultation with a physio .
I did notice it did not bother me too much whilst cycling but was mild agony when i had to put my foot down ( on my toes ) at traffic light etc .
I was sent a video exercise plan to follow for 6 months . This plan finished in December and now i am back to almost normal .
I still have the videos of the plan somewhere in the bowels of my computer and if you wish i will send them to you via e mail .
Regards....John
Apologies for the late reply, and thanks for the offer.
I've managed to get a telephone consultation with my doctor through e-consult, but not until the 24th. It took me 2 attempts to get through e-consult as first time I was instructed to dial 111. Second time I managed to to get a call back, and convinced the nurse I needed a doctor to refer me for a scan/x-ray. Meanwhile the pain in my heel when I put my Achilles under tension, and dull ache in my calf is no better.
I'll see what the doctor says, and I may get back to you on those videos when I have a proper diagnosis.
Cheers,
Chris.
