Achilles Tendonitis

[pogo_stix]

I am 15 years old and i have had achilles tendonitis in both my feet. I havent had them at the same time but i missed all my freshman season of basketball cause of it and am about to miss volleyball if it doesnt get better in a week.
My mom is a family practice doctor and is doing all she knows to do. Last year we went to a foot doctor guy and he put me in a cast for 4 wks and a boot for 3 wks. After that my right foot was better. But just at volley ball camp last week doing a simple blocking drill it started up in my left foot! I am so frustrated. Right now i am limping around in a boot to see if 2 wks of keeping it as still as possible will do any good. But so far not much luck. still twinges. I am taking some wierd medicine this chiropractor guy gave to me like fish oil and something else. And hot/cold bath twice a day for my foot. we are trying everything and anything at this point.
Since both feet have done this it makes me wonder if there is an underlying cause or something that is wrong with me. I need it fixed.

If this is still not better you might want to consider having some bloodwork done to check for systemic causes of this problem. Maybe you have already done this if your mom is a Dr? Have you had the biomechanics of your gate analyzed? If you pronate, orthotics might also help. Good luck!
