I feel a moderate pain in the encircled area after playing badminton. The pain rises to higher intensity in the morning. I play on a wodden court and use NIVIA badminton shoes. Please help.
That's the insertion point of your Achilles tendon. Make sure you stretch before and after badminton. And make sure your shoes have good cushioning. Ice and ibuprofen will help meanwhile.
A bit warmer than lukewarm will do better but in general it wont do much. It sounds like your muscles in your feet are weak. My best guess is that you need orthopedics. Talk to your local orthopedist and he will give you advice. Also do stretches. You can find them on the internet. I had the same pain as well but after a week of wearing my orthotics it went away.
Current sports medical advice is to use ice. Failing cold water sound like a reasonable alternative but may not work as much as ice.
No, you just need to stretch alot before and after playing and preferably a few times during the day to help. You can also buy a night leg splint that helps when you are sleeping, it keeps the tendon in a stretched position. It might feel a bit uncomfortable but you will have little or no pain in the morning. This will allow the tendon to get better. Kindest regards, -Ajay- Quote of the Day Just a word of advice. Whenever you're furious with your parents or you think they're terrible, just remember, you vomited on them and they kept you.
Yep, the theory is that the overused hypertrophied calf muscles are constantly pulling on the Achilles insertion. So stretching the muscles and tendon will elongate them and release the tension. Also if overweight, losing weight will help a lot.
Yes I forgot to mention that Visor, Vivek if you are overweight, losing weight will also help. The above advice is from first hand experience, I had similar pain in both feet due to the nature of my job, with lots of stretching and doing some strengthening exercises, I was able to get rid of the pain. I know how you feel. Kindest regards, -Ajay- Quote of the Day If you shoot at mimes, should you use a silencer?
Recommend you see a doctor always. Some simple stretches you can do when you are better. 1. Get a tennis ball or lacross ball 2. Put your foot over it and roll it around the bottom of your foot 3. Put you calf over the ball and roll it around your calf
Did you hit it somewhere? Sometimes it could be a nerve that just got bumped hard and it's swelling inside but also it's near your Achilles area, you should really be careful with that. Stretch a lot and I would recommend a lot of rest for now until the pain subsides.
For better traction change your shoe. Your present one might not have the right cushioning for your feet.
not sure what the root cause is, but back in the day when I wore Yonex shoes with a mostly flat sole, I sometimes get pain there. Later on I added some gel heel cup under the insole and the problem went away. something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gel-Shoes-I...licone-/261854860457?var=&hash=item3cf7c414a9 I moved to Adidas shoes after that which has a higher heel rise and I never have that problem anymore. even without the heel cups.
