Ow my ankle!

[jiggerypokery]

Right ankle has started to stiffen up from time to time and I've noticed a thickening (like a thick elastic band) across the thinnest part of the tendon.

What's going on and what can I do to correct it as I'm hobbling out of bed like an old man some mornings!!!!!!!!

Sounds like pulled/ broken fibres in your Achilles Tendon which should heal slowly on their own. It should thin down again over time as the damaged fibres knit back together but if you're worried best go to your doctor.

I sprained my ankle badly as a teenager and it's still stiff first thing or if I need to move quickly after resting..
