Hello,
I have been taking swim lessons for about two months now. After twenty-one years of beating up my body running, I decided to give it a break by learning to swim. Well......
I now have pain in both achilles tendons. It is down low, on the back of my heels. I am still running, but only a fraction of the mileage I was doing before. I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out how my limited amount of running has caused this heel pain. It all started about two months ago. So, I have put 2 and 2 together ... it must be the swimming, but how?
I am using flippers. Could that be it?
Please help. I'm tired of aching all the time!
Thanks,

Thanks for all the advice. I'm pretty sure that I don't have the dreaded plantar facsiatis because the pain is in the back of my heel, not under it. I think I'll just try and swim without the fins for a week and take a few days off running (and get fat) and see what happens!
