According to the man I spoke to from the surgery my recent achilles tendon pain might not be an injury as such. It might just be the tendon complaining because I went from being acompletelylazytwat to just a bitofalazysod. In other words, I started doing a lot more garden/house work and was on my legs a lot more than usual. He says I just need to condition it. That's good because in the first three days of it, it felt like someone was cutting me with a blade.
