I am writing to seek your advice regarding a persistent discomfort in my achilles tendon. Although it has been mainly been discomfort for me and some pain for the past three months, I initially injured it around six months ago which after like 2 months it felt better I could walk on it and things I have been experiencing ongoing discomfort in my achilles tt tends to bother me, even while just sitting there have also been instances where I feel like I may have slightly re-aggravated the injury. Considering the timeline of the injury, the persistent discomfort, and the possibility of re-aggravation, I would greatly appreciate your professional opinion on the best course of action. Should I continue with exercises or consider a period of rest to allow for further healing? Your guidance would be immensely helpful in managing this condition effectively.

Physical therapy. A physical therapist can instruct you in a series of exercises to stretch the plantar fascia and achilles tendon and to strengthen lower leg muscles, which stabilize your ankle and heel. A therapist might also teach you to apply athletic taping to support the bottom of your foot. Apply ice over the area.
