Achilles tendon operation

[Gambatte]

Last pain free race was Setpember 2008. Last race was Oct 2008. The doc suggested to operate my left Achille. The right one was operated in 2007 after 7 years of pain.

Not happy.

Gambatte, i have had both mine done, it's not easy but you just have to get on with it, i now have Achilles tendon bursitis (spell check needed) for last 6 months on one of the heels, which is a pain well you limp for 10 mins of each day while you get going but after that its no bad.
Had cortisone injection which worked for short time but then i came back specialist said you just have to live with it!
That's just what people like you and i have to do sorry no magic wand, but i have started training in a diff way swimming helps a lot and only one or two runs a week, it wont let me train for long events but it will allow me in time to race up to say 9 mile or so
listen to your body
Good luck

Thanks for the simpaty, that's really what I need.

I'm really unhappy. I would trade one hour on each of my PB in return for a life of running injury free.

Exactly. You just have to accept things. I am still much healthier than most people. And in a few months I will return to run much more than most people ever do in their life. Just I must force myself not to train to the level of decent club runners.
If I must run less and slower, and stretch more (always done plenty), in order to keep injuries off that's what i'll do.

All the best mate, get well soon.
