ABT Wannabe Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 This question may be too individual to answer...but I really need some help. I have achilles tendonitis and am planning to take some time off to let it heal. My question is...How much time should I take off to make sure it fully recovers? If you've ever had tendonitis before, how much time did YOU take off? Is 6 months too long? I would really really really appreciate any help from anyone! luv ya! Quote Link to comment
Administrators Victoria Leigh Posted July 12, 2004 Administrators Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Yep, too individual to answer. Some people will heal in a week or two, others take months. What are you doing for it in the meantime, besides time off? Quote Link to comment
Guest dancer522 Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 I've never had it before, but I think that if you don't let it rest for long enough it can stick around for a long time. (Sorry if this is chatting... ) Quote Link to comment
Administrators Victoria Leigh Posted July 13, 2004 Administrators Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 No, not chatting at all, and you are correct. Tendinitis does not go away easily, and since it is a repetitive stress injury, it will never go away as long as the same stress is continued. Therefore total rest is imperative.
