I have knacked achilles tendons. Started at training school when I was marching and suddenly one of them was uncomfortable enough for me to be trying to flex it when no-one was looking. THe next day I couldnt stand on it and within two days they were both painful with large swellings on them. DOctor took one look adn got his sicknote pad out saying 'how many months do you want?' I was supposed to take 2 weeks on a sofa with people catering to my every whim then v v light exercise.....just impossible given my work/home situation so I did a few days on crutches and took a LOT of painkillers. They still cause me grief, I had ultrasound on them about a year ago which was magical. Sometimes when I stand up and they've been relaxed it takes ages for me to walk without a massive limp. Occasionally I'm just waiting for the 'twang!!' as one of them lets go....not fun!
