[pct-l] Achilles Tendon

[Yoshihiro Murakami]

On the anti-inflammatory drugs,  I once searched the papers and found
the large-scale meta-analysis of the randomized  control studies.  All
the drugs has bad influence to cardiovascular function.  Naproxen
seemed least harmful.

So, it is better not to use as far as possible.

On the Achilles Pain, there is a medical site. I think it may be the good site.

When you feel pain, icing is better. but icing has no effect to cure.
Then, when you do not feel pain, it is better to keep warm, because
the circulation of blood is facilitated. It is also better, to
stretch, or to massage.

> A word of caution on non steroidal anti-Inflammatory drugs (NSAID).  Thave been shown to delay and hamper the healing in all the soft

> Ice is the answer.  If you need pain meds use Tylenol which is not anti-inflammatory.  I haven't have Achilles tendons problems but i did hurt other tendons.   In addition to ice I used large doses of fish oil, i'm not sure if  that added to healing, but it's anti-inflammatory.  I think the rest is important at the beginning but in my case aggressive mobility workouts with injured tendon made it heal faster.  A good physiotherapist my help a lot.
