I took strong ibuprofen to lessen the pain and keep on cycling hoping that it would go away, but it hasn’t. But that’s not the worst of it. On day number four, I started to notice pain in my Achilles tendon area. It started to persist to the point of becoming unbearable. We had to cut day four in half and this is where I am now. We are taking an unexpected rest day in an unexpected location trying to figure out exactly what to do. I have checked my saddle height and pedal position multiple times. I have adjusted everything according to research and nothing has helped. I can barely even walk. I don’t know what to do. Any wisdom or help in this situation would be greatly appreciated. I have very little Wi-Fi and I am in a different time zone, so forgive me if I don’t respond right away. I’m scared that the answer might be that my tour is over, but I want to know if there’s any other options. By the way, this is all happening only in my right leg. Left has had no problems
Why in the world are you coming to bikeforums asking a question that should be answered by your doctor? Even a qualified physician isn't going to be able to answer your question without seeing you.
