IAMA_chick Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 mine always hurts when i run. i have no idea why it does this but maybe if you stretch that area more it will not hurt. also, ask your instructor Tae Kwon Do15-years oldpurple--belt
ZR440 Posted June 5, 2003 Posted June 5, 2003 Sounds like you'll be sore for a while. I always loosen/warm up the joints before stretching. Rotations, back and forth, whatever. Just get the blood flowing before you dive into your stretching. It's happy hour somewhere in the world.
Kamidake Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 Padawon and Pro 2006, you have either strained Achilles tendons or incipient cases of Achilles tendinitis. KEEP AN EYE ON IT. Achilles tendinitis can be a b***h to get rid of if you don't stay on top of it. I've struggled with it for three years and it has put me in orthotics (goodbye, sexy shoes). If stretching, icing, and anti-inflammatories don't help, SEE A FOOT DR. IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT.
sansoouser Posted June 28, 2003 Posted June 28, 2003 rotate your ankle so it stretches, ice hot pads or sports creme deep heating rub or something along that lines stay off of it for as long as you can so it can heal well The amateur shoots his hands out ferociously, but lacks any true power. A master is not so flamboyant, but his touch is as heavy as a mountain.
