I damaged my achilles tendon, or more specifically the fluid sacks around it doing dunwich and back 2 weeks ago. Universal advise was ice and lots of rest, which I did (even drove to work which is ridiculous considering I live 10 mins from workshop.) went for a test ride of fit adjustments today, a slow 125k ride, and after 1 hour off the bike my heel is swelling up and I can't push down on it again. What would anyone reccomend. I realise it is very late in the day...
I can do that as long as I don't stop (this started on the way to dunwich, so rode another 300k on it) but the next day I was unable to walk on it, and couldn't get my shoe on as it was so swollen, so it's unlikely I'll be able to do it after a kip at the control.
Some advise from old hands please.
