That sounds like it and in the right place but no swelling?

 

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

Doesn't have to be swollen.

Great, so I shouldn't use the bike?
New job, enjoying the cycling and now I can't use the bike :'(

 

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

Rest time

How long do you reckon it'll take, few days?

 

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

Depends on your own response to rest/stretching. All you can do is try,it will tell you if it isn't ready.

It's definitely Achilles Tendonitis I can feel it grinding now and i had Tendonitis in my arm earlier this year.
It's great :'(

Ice, anti-inflammatories, rest, gentle stretches

Thanks for the advice people going to give it some rest and see how it goes. Cheers.

Are planning to see your GP? It might be prudent to do so.

When you're cycling, don't stand up, and spin a lower gear. I find that helps me when my achilles flares up.

For the people who argue that punctuation is unimportant, that is an example of why commas sometimes really do matter!

Pain was ? pissing me off big time,I thought the fitness would do me not this!

Time to see a medical professional as above if it's not getting better - 7 miles isn't a massive distance to cause such an issue
