[|Human|] I have started a running routine and running some hills. for this week I have had slight soreness in my Achilles Tendons but it seems to be only when i first wake up. is this tendonitis or an injury or just soreness from first starting out? I havent ran all this week to let whatever it is heal.
[|AI|]  Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint the symptoms of pain Achilles tendon in the morning with beginning of a routine of running and running on hills can be due to Achilles Tendonitis that is inflammation of Achilles tendon that is due to sudden overuse of the legs and feet. As of now you can limit up running the hills and even on the flat surface. You should do cool compresses over the area. You can apply an Analgesic gel like Diclofenac and wrap either with a crape bandage or an ankle strap. Take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen or Naproxen. You can take Muscle relaxant like Chlorzoxasone. In case if still there is no improvement you can consult an Orthopedic and get evaluated and an x-ray can help in diagnosis. You can be advised either immobilization of the foot or movable shoe or boot can be applied. You can be advised to take painkiller and muscle relaxant and other therapies advised above and along with it, you can also be advised night split and Physiotherapy under trained Physiotherapist. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.
