.I have had a tight Achilles in my left leg down just next to the ancle bone, tender when I squeaze it, tight when I streatch, when I get fully warmed up it seems to ease up and not hurt, but his requires jogging, streatching and jogging again and more stretching. It doesn't hurt to walk, just when I run during practice.
I am worried as I don't want to tear it or do futher damaged I still need to play as I am my soccer teams goalie and don't want to miss the beginning of the year, but I also don't want to miss the rest of the year with a rupture.
I have been taking Gluscosmine Chondroitine and MSM as I took it 5 years ago to heal a totally severed Patella Tendon in my other leg and was able to walk in less than a month with no crutches. I am hoping this will help me heal faster. I have been stretching gently when there is no pain, and resting as much as possible.
I really need some good advice on what I should do and how bad is it really? I am to optamistic?

The best thing to do is see an Ortho and/or a Physical theropist. At that point you can start to rehab it if needed.

Thanks Brawler for your response, it has eased and is no longer tight, I have been streaching gently as possible and that has helped eased any tightness I might of had.

I'm glad to hear your getting better, Sports injuries suck. One thing I should have recomended was a Weeble or balance board. They are kinda spendy but well worth the price in the long run. The web site where I got mine is www.power-systems.com (ph. 1-800-321-6975)
