Hi
Have hadachilles tenonitis for over a year. It has gradually got worse where more tendons are affected and swelling of leg.
I started physio and have some exercises to do. Previously have tried most painkillers, rest, ice, support
However, The other week because of accient i ended up walking near 2 miles and it seems to have affected my tendons more.
I am now experiencing extreme cold leg/ foot.
Is this related? i dont go to see my physio for a few weeeks yet?
I am still using painkillers and support
Michelle
Cold leg/ foot is not a normal symptom of achilles tendonitis or any inflammation and could suggest a vascular compromise. If this began all of a sudden or acutely, you may consider visiting the ER to look for vascular issues. If it has been present since sometime, you may consider visiting a primary care physician or an orthopedician for an evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope this is helpful.
Take care!
