Well, after weeks of faffing about ive finally managed to get to the dr's today as im now in my consultation period at work and have time to do stuff!
I feared the worst and it has been confirmed that i have achillies tendonitis
Bummer!
I cant do any classes at all in the gym, i have to take ibuprofen 3 times per day and have some specfific exercises that i need to do twice a day to stretch the tendon and prevent it from snapping - BAD TIMES!!!
On a plus note, ive got to do all of the above for the next 2 weeks and if there is no improvement i have to go to an ICAT specialist who may recommend steriod or anti inflamatory injections directly into the tendon which last for around 6 months and you can continue normal activity during this time
Dr has said i can still do the gym but only low impact exercise which wont put any strain on my tendon such as the cross trainer, cardio wave, rower etc - thank god!
Wish me luck folks and keep your fingers crossed for me so i can have these injections
