@Shanmonster @RickiTarr +1 for cannabis. I have a pair of ruptured Achilles'. Rest, Ice, and Elevation (RICE) helps a lot, as does compression and ibuprofin for the inflammation. Physical therapy exercise daily. I get the same amount of relief from a puff or two of a vape. When I add cannabis to the mix I am able to be active enough that the exercises become redundant.
