So this getting old stuff sucks donkey balls. For the past year I've been dealing with this strange issue primarily in my achilles tendon area and occasionally my foot, especially near the heel. The primary issue is the achilles though. It isn't an injury it comes and goes. I'd liken it to almost arthritis or maybe severe inflammation. It tends to "flair" up mostly when I've been seated for a long time but sometimes is completely random. Sometimes it is just one leg and not both. Sometimes just getting moving and it eases up...others I'm walking around like an old man. Tonight I had a double whammy as had done cardio and a leg workout THEN went out and hiked for 2 hours...getting up from dinner I looked like I was 80!

What the heck is going on? What could be causing this. My lady thinks its extreme inflammation but why does it primarily rear its head after I have sat? A friend thinks its from years of Test use that has weakened my tendons? I've tried needling, cupping, I use a ton of ointment stuff including dmso and arnica. I've had circulation issues to my legs since i was young and in the past I've had vascular surgery (HELL) on one leg. My vein surgeon said I pump blood down efficiently but not back up (says its genetic not age).

Sorry for the rambling but I truly need advise. Any fix I've tried is only temporary and it comes back, sometimes in the middle of doing what I love most (outdoor adventuring). For those of you who know me know I wouldn't be asking if I hadn't tried to look for answers for over a year!

Thx
