Quick summary. Got diagnosed with AT (para) in January after a 10 mile run and too many training miles. Had 10 weeks off and did a lot of eccentric drops and raises. A week ago last Sunday I ran in a race and the achilles was fine (had been training and competing on it no problems) Then the soreness came on gradually over 2-3 days. More on the right hand side of the right achilles and foot. However by Thursday I was pain free and by Saturday I was able to run 3 miles with no post exercise pain. Ran again Sunday with no immediate post exercise pain. However the soreness came on slowly after this run and is still sore now. It feels different to the last AT I had and there is no pain walking (and no pain when I ran) but there is a tightness down the right side of the achilles and soreness on the right side only and not so much at the back and none on the left hand side. This doesn't sound like AT to me as it doesn't come and go like that does it - what else could it be - a trapped nerve? I do have a sore spot right on the arch of the right foot which has been there for a while so not sure if that's connected. Any AT experts out there?
