I have been battling a swollen achilles for eleven months. Any one tried compression socks? If so what are you thoughts? Thanks

Rest for two weeks then get some shoes with some heels.
For acute cases, shoes with higher heels are an option. For chronic cases like this, its a mistake. The soft tissue needs to become more functuonal and will be less so in shoes with higher heels. Graston or ASTYM along with eccentric heel drops, ice and stretching will fix this functionality. Keep in mind that is a lot of Achilles cases, the tendon will be thicker even after its healed and pain free.
