[QUOTE="hieudovan, post: 1133588, member: 13499"] I see a lot of good information here. However, please also see a professional. I walked the Camino Frances with a "healing" Achilles tendon in my 60's. I did a lot of research and found many useful information in preparing for the camino and during the camino. Heel drop exercise Warm up Achilles tendon in the morning before engaging in activities Rest and massage Achilles tendon when it feels "hot." Heel lifts for shoes/boots Use hiking poles (correctly) for walking/hiking Ice down or immerse feet (up to ankles) in cold water after walking or end of the day I was advised AGAINST using ibuprofen. By lessening the pain, it actually masks the condition of the Achilles tendon, i.e. walking with a "bad" Achilles tendon can result in an injury, like a torn Achilles tendon. The ibuprofen is to help with pain and MUSCLE inflammation, but NOT with a bad tendon. I was able to walk from SJPDP to Finisterre and Muxia in my 60's. The first day hiking up the Pyrenees was the worst. I recommend the Valcarlos route over the Napoleon route. Bon camino. [/QUOTE]
