I had achilles tendonitis so bad that I would just about go through the roof when my achilles got bumped at all. Even the sheets rubbing against it in bed were hurting. It started about 8 years ago and just kept getting progessively worse.
After resting my leg an entire off-season (which was very tough because I am an avid weighlifter and a golfer and biker in the summers), it settled down a little bit. Then when I stared reffing again in the fall, it immediately flared up and I was back to square one.
Two off-seasons ago, I had achilles debridement surgery. It has made a world of difference. The only time I even noticed my achilles so far this year was when I had 6 boys games in a week (snow make-ups). Other than that, the pain is completely gone.
Surgery is a last resort, but it sure worked for me.
