I have been having problems with both of the achilles tendons for a while now. Can hardly walk at times. They are thck and lumpy. Went to the doctor she told me to stop wearing high heels......I wish.
Anyone had similar problems. No silly answers please.

Comfrey oil (symphytum officinale) is excellent for tendon problems and speeds healing. You can buy the infused oil in most health food stores, it should be a green colour. Rub into the ankles twice a day and you should experience relief within a couple of weeks. Try and stretch the feet and ankles for 10mins each day too, just rotate the ankles as far as possible in all directions.
Best wishes.

Follow your doctor's orders and stop wearing heels (for the time being). You might also want to consult with a sports medicine specialist or someone who specializes with feet and ankles. But, seriously, you could be doing way more damage by continuing to wear high heels.

I have problems with my ankles after playing a lot of football and tennis, wearing supportive in-soles does actually help quite a lot.
Good luck, i know what it's like having crappy ankles and it isn't pleasant.
All the best

There's a great website - www.footsmart.com. They have all kinds of "foot aids" Take a look. I'll bet you can find help. I did.
