Anyone have any tips for me to help with my achillies tendons. The have been aching pretty bad all season. I thought I'd take some time off over break and they'd get better, but they are still a little sore. I'm not looking for definite medical advice on the internet, but any pointers that might help would be greatly appreciated. I am a bit of a weight lifter and didn't hit my legs as hard as I usually do in the pre-season (a mistake I won't make next season). I'm assuming that not getting that work in is adding to my pain. I'm sure it can't be age. Thanks in advance.

This might not help you but I stopped lifting a couple of years ago after battling shin splint & achillies problems. I recently started up again but won't do legs until March when the season is over. My leg work now is on a bike or eliptical machine. I know a couple of people who lift & ref, they can handle it but squats & deads take a lot out of me & I'm sure they contributed to my leg aches & pains during the season.
