Thanks for the advice. Some of that may work for me. My Doctor says I'm in this situation because I do what you said in your advice #2. He said I need to do a better job of rolling my foot when I walk and run instead of landing on the whole foot at once. By doing that, I'm not properly stretching that tendon...thus, swelling and pain. I guess I don't completly understand it all but he helped me to be pain free for about 18 months.

my understanding is that landing on the whole foot is part of the problem in the long run, but for one day of games, it will help ease the pain.
Has he given you any exercises to stretch the tendon and help it get better? I've tried some different things, but nothing that helps in the long run.
