Arthritis flare up, My ankles and achilles tendons are tender.

[alfredo]

and have been for over a week. It's like the muscle spasms I have from my bad discs. My tendons feel tight. If I lay on my back, I have to turn my feet out so I they are not straight up and down. sitting hurts, I walk with a limp. Point my toes is painful and quickly tires me. Flexing feels OK, but tight.

Have any of you experienced these symptoms? They seem similar with what I have been experiencing with my arms.


My uncle who walked everywhere, had the same problems. Until late 1999 I walked 10 miles a day, before that I was a runner and amateur cyclist. Most of my life was spent in hard physical labor.
