[pct-l] Care for tendonitis

[surferskir at aol.com]

I used to have the malady after just about every soccer game I played.  (90 minutes of running will do that).
Advidce I got many years ago:   Get an instep insert (hard) into your shoes/boots. 
Worked great for me, and that was many, many years ago.  I still hike with those hard inserts in my hiking boots, and have never had any pain (except when you get a rock inside!!).

Subject: [pct-l] Care for tendonitis


Hey y'all, I just got to mt. Laguna and I have some tendonitis in my left
archilles tendon that just started this morning. The tendon is sore and it
hurts to walk, and it looks a little bruised. How should I care for it? I'm
taking tomorrow off to rest it, but if it hurts after that can I hike on
it? Or do i need to rest until it's completely healed and doesn't hurt at
all? And what sort of care can i do for it without ice? Any and all tips
greatly appreciated.
