hey /fit/,

i have random shooting pains in my left achilles tendon. it feels almost like electrical shock or something and lasts a couple seconds, then goes away.

i googled it but all i can find is achilles tendonitids. but i don't have any other symptoms. no pain or trouble walking, flexing my ankle, etc. no tenderness/pain if i touch or squeeze it.

do i just have foot aids?

picture unrelated.

see an L-ATC if you're at a university/college

otherwise see an MD

otherwise, R.I.C.E. is the way to go

it probably isn't anything.... and R.I.C.E. is probably what they'd tell you to do anyway... but it's good to be sure you don't have something nasty....

probably just a class I strain

No...it's called "I'm-not-gonna-do-the-right-thing-and-go-to-the-doctor-so-I'm-gonna-ask-anonymous-for-advice-in
stead-itis".

Seriously, OP...get to a physician before your condition gets worse with activity.

Are people trying to avoid health-care costs by posting these kinds of questions here or something?

kind of. i don't have a regular MD and it's such a weird random little pain... which by the way hasn't happened now since i posted about it. i have a trainer session today so i'll ask him about it if it doesn't come back, and i'll go to the doctor if it does come back.
>> OP
i doubt anybody cares, but i haven't had the weird pain in about 24 hours. my trainer thinks i maybe pinched a nerve or something, told me to take it easy for a couple days but if it doesn't come back, then no worries.

If you changed how you walk/run or the heel/cushioning of your shoes recently, you have to give the ankles time to adjust to new stresses.
