Hi all

my little sister who is 14 is very active in sport, recently she has been getting pains in what seem to be her achilles tendon, she says it gets worse after she plays football and particularly basketball. she did go to the doctor and he said she had to wear something to raise her foot in her runner but she's still having problems......is it normal for a girl of her age to suffer from this kind of a problem

Could you please give me adivce on what should be done or even what it is

Cheers!! :)
