Myth #1: It’s normal to push through pain during the healing process.
In fact, the pain you feel is there as a reminder from your injured Achilles tendon that you are still hurt, and pushing through that pain may indicate that you’re aggravating, or reinjuring your Achilles tendon. If any activity, even walking, causes additional pain, it’s best to stop doing that activity, or do less of it when possible. An increase in pain indicates inflammation, so get some cold therapy on to the spot where your pain is the worst as soon as possible. Pushing through the pain can slow down your recovery and even reverse it – respect the pain, and your healing will progress.
Myth #2: Cortisone shots will help you heal
In fact, cortisone may relieve your pain temporarily, but it almost always comes back – and cortisone does not help you to heal. Repeated cortisone shots can actually cause the tissue to thin over time, and they are associated with unfortunate side effects like tendon rupture, skin irritation, and nerve damage. Sometimes cortisone shots are necessary to relieve extreme pain, but it’s best to avoid cortisone if you can.
Myth #3: Surgery is necessary
In fact, surgery should be treated as a last resort. Given enough rest, time, and proper treatment, many Achilles injuries can heal on their own. Surgery often causes tissue loss, which can lead to more pain and injury in the future. Surgery is sometimes necessary in the case of a fully ruptured tendon, but conditions such as a partially torn Achilles tendon, or tendonitis, can heal and repair over time.
