Well I've been running track for a long time. For three years actually. I noticed a pain on my achilles way back in football season. No big deal just a dull pain. It went away.
During Basketball season (my favorite sport) I had no problems. (Thanks!)
Now it has returned in Track season. It started early on as a dull pain again. Now whenever I run, my achilles feels as though a knife was jabbed in it. I suffered through it till today. It hurt so bad I cried. Skurpey told me to tell coach. I did he let my take a break. I didn't have to run my next 400 meter. I took some extra strength Non-Asprin-Asprin, it slightly numbed the pain. Feeling as though I may have hurt my achilles tendon I asked google about pain there. Googles replies stated that I may suffer from achilles tendonitis.
The symptoms I matched:
Pain in the Achilles tendon
A dull and/or sharp pain on the achilles
A feeling of intense heat radiating from that area
Well great, I fell like I'm letting coach down by not running. But I don't want to mess up my foot. Track really isn't my sport, thats Basketball. What should I do, I know I should tell coach and go to the doctor.
Any comments and/or suggestions would be appreciated. (whoa head rush...)
