Retrocalcaneal Bursitis
Thats what the PT guy said I have. Not Achilles Tendinitis, but Retrocalcaneal Bursitis or Achilles Tendon Bursitis. Most likly caused by my over pronation and low arch. So he gave me a few stretches to do and told me to ice it for 7 mins 2X a day. Also, he said I should get new running sneakers, motion control running sneakers. So I went to the local shoe shop and picked up a pair of Brooks Addiction™ 7. I have been wearing them all day and what a differance! These shoes are awesome and my left ankle has not hurt at all since I put them on (KNock on wood). I go back to PT tomorrow. I want to see this guy (David) as much as I can since his specialty is running mechanics. Tomorrow I hope to get to the pool and swim a few laps. I am feeling much better and should get my butt back to the Y!

Sounds like you're on the right track - good luck!
woah i dont even know how to pronounce that stuff!!! i hope youre feeling better (since youre sick) and the ole injury fades away.
let's hit up the elliptical :)
Sounds like you found the right shoes if they made that big a difference that quickly. Very cool!
Keep up the stretching for sure.
That's good about seeing the PT. Good shoes too. I have Brooks Adrenaline. Hang in there!
Icing for 7 minutes? Is that enough time for it to work? Best of luck!!!!
Direct ice for 7 mins....yeah it worked!
Glad to hear that things are turning around... having the correct running shoe can make all the difference.
I was having knee problems last year that was caused by the wrong shoe. Good luck!
