odd achilies injury here... the pain is about ankle high and extends up to the bottom of my calf. I can still run on it, but afterwards my soleus and upper achillies are really sore. icing and the stick have helped, but i think its just masking the pain and not treating the root cause. ive read through all the threats on the forum but cant seem to find any advice on high achilies/soleus injuries... any advice?
Not really that odd of an achilles injury. They are generally at the insertion or ankle high. I would recommend cutting back training a bit and finding a chiro who does graston. I was able to run through an achilles injury thanks to graston technique treatments. And I am generally skeptical of chiro soft-tissue voodoo treatments. But, I have to say that graston worked and I did not have to limit training that much. Also do a lot of eccentric calf raises. They help.
