Achilles Tendonitis
Hi Vickie and others,

I am a lady golfer 52yrs old. Since a few years, I have tendonitis in my ankles more in the left one. I wear orthotic heel cups. I have used ice for months, been to a physio for massage and ultra sound, took antiinflamatory meds, regularly stretching.

MRI showed chronic inflammation of boths Achilles tendons and peritendonitis of the left ankle. I have finally accepted one shot of steroid which gave me some relief for 2 months. Now it's back and I do not know what further course of action to take. I did stop golfing for some time, but walking is enough for it to be back. I am afraid of going back to steroids as I have heard that it could lead to weakening of the tendons.

I would be grateful to receive your advice.
