I have been to the doctor and been diagnosed with achillies tendinitis. I am a bridesmaid in my sisters wedding in 2 weeks and need to wear high heels. Docotr has told me I can light exercise as i attend a gym and run. I have been walking and cycling, feels ok while doing this but once home very painful to walk on. some times get sharp pains up the leg and cannot put pressure on foot. The achilles area is swollen slightly. Last weekend I was doing a job in which I was sitting down for 9 hours straight. Walked to car from this job and had no problems at all with foot and no swelling whatsoever. I am a mum of 5 so total rest normally is out of the question. I am wondering if any one out there know about the achillies foot/leg supports that make your foot not able to move as like a plaster cast does. It just covers the back of foot and leg, and if that would help. Sometimes hurts just lying in bed and very tight and sore in the morning and after sitting for short periods.Thanks
