Help.
I'm being a bit of a worry wort here but my Achilles has swollen a little over the last 3 days (not massively painful to ride on but is always "present")very localised swelling right on the middle of the tendon. Very painful to climb/descend steps or to stand on tippy toes for that matter.
I layed on a load of neurophen anti inflammitory gel today and now the heel is "creaking" internally when I flex my anckle.
A few questions.
-Can I do a lot of serious damage from just leaving this to settle down whilst i carry on riding every day (40 miles)?
-Should I undertake the 20 mile ride home (pretty flat) or take the office scooter and rest up for a few days?
- should I see professional advice...or is a creaking ankle "normal"?
