Anyone else has a problem with achilles tendinitis?

I burst into a full run once w/o warming up and had a nagging achilles for 5+ years. It was terrible. Couldn't do anything w/o it nagging me.
Not exercising made it worse. Taking cissus herb and doing mild sprints for a year made it go away.

When it hurts I take few days off and then it's better.
For most of the time it's ok and I don't feel it. I just hope I don't snap my achilles during sparring one day like Haye vs Bellew.

Originally posted by Redd Foxx View PostNo. I stuck with bodybuilding, then went to jiu-jitsu. Once I got into boxing, the light sprints actually helped. Sometimes, working a tendon lightly actually builds up the muscles around it, reduces inflammation, and helps healing. With tendons, you always want to warm up (not stretch, but warm up) and rest if it gets too painful. They are weird in that both inactivity and over activity are bad. The only real issues I've ever suffered are tendons so I've done a shyt ton of research and experimentation as to how to deal with them.
What seems to helps me personally is if I warm up for a really long time. That's why I like to have 3 or even 4 hours long training session where I would just lightly warm up for half an hour and then do some easy shadowboxing, maybe some easy running. And then for the next 2 hours training at full and then another half an hour of stretching.
This seems to be the most optimal training regime for me. When we have our regular boxing trainings I come like an hour early and go to the gym (it's in the same building) to warm up.

I've had it to an acute level on both sides.
Eccentric heel drops really were key. But rehabilitation was painful and took a while. Very important not to stop exercising. It definitely takes longer without the correct exercises.....
