No idea why they would move cleats forward on anyone, especially when you're complaining of Achilles.
I was riding every week regardless of pain. Probably sorted out inflammation to no NSAIDS level within fortnight. It took a month to adapt to the position anyway so I wasn't riding so hard.
hippy-
Knee pain was my initial complaint and had always had the cleats slammed back. Fitter moved the cleats forward and bang - a week later I woke up with a crunchy/swollen achilles. That's good to hear it didn't take too long for you to recover- I think I'm gonna sell my PM and pay the bike whisperer a visit

I think I will get the extenders to slam my cleats back further (And adjust saddle height to match). As this problem started in June when a fitter moved my cleats 10mm forward and still hasn't gone away I think a midfoot cleat should help to spare my calves.
How long did it take for the achilles tendinopathy to clear?
