Thanks for the advice! For a second I thought you meant use the bike for the swimming section as well!

Do you think its an aging thing. I know a number of people who have generally been injury free, and then in the 40's get achilles problems.
Oi ! I'm only 26!
Ah, but you look much older;-)
You'll pay for that!
Thought I might resurect the thread. Has anyone tried voltarol cream/gel. I was using ibuprofen gel but it seemed to be having little affect on my achillies pain. I friend reccomended voltarol and touch wood it seems to be having a positive effect!?
Voltarol is a wonder cure. It has magical healing properties! Make sure you get the strong stuff.
Can I just ask something that might be really stupid!
I've set my achillies off again at Christmas at a bloody party - nowt to do with running! - anyhow it's really peeing me off now, I'm trying to be good and do the stair lift stretches regularly because that does help BUT there is pain there when I run
Sometimes it's better after my off road session and sometimes that agrivates it.. after sleeping it's a bit cranky first thing
ANYHOW (sorry - waffle city) I brought some voltarol gel today after seeing this thread... how long till it kicks in - would you expect a day before you feel a difference?
I'm sure it depends on what structures are actually involved and giving you the pain. I personally don't have alot of faith in topical creams, but I'm interested in the fact that people have obviously had good results with them.Originally Posted by Egglett
Let us know if it helps.

I've been using Voltarol and doing the lifting strecthes - mixture seems to have dulled the pain and it feels much better this week but now has a bump... should I be worried?
