[QUOTE="jessej, post: 2520950, member: 24557"] I’ve been there. Quiet a few years back I suffered with Achilles issues. Intense pain and tenderness at the heel connection point. Steroid injections would calm it for a month or so, but then it would return. After dealing with this for a few years I broke down and went to the mechanic. A mri showed that the connection point had partially given up. It was mostly still connected but a few strands had torn out of the bone and actually pulled some bone fragments out with them. A few days later they opened it up, detached the entire Achilles, cleaned it up and reattached with screws. This was 4 months prior to a September elk hunt. I told the doc I WAS goin. He told me that he guaranteed his work and I would not tear it where he fixed it…….but it would be VERY uncomfortable. He was right. But I survived it. The following September everything was back to normal. Go get it checked. If it needs attention, don’t put it off. [/QUOTE]
