Suggest Treatment For Achilles Tendinitis

I feel like I have achilles tendonitis (have had some years ago) - I m thinking it s from over use - I m doing a 100 Day Dash with my work and we need to get 10,000 steps a day - I ve been getting close to 20,000 a day just by walking. What can I do to continue walking and getting my steps, yet not aggravating my achilles tendon any worse. Should I ice it at and elevate at night? Could a Tens Unit work for that?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, no need to ice this but just be patience, and have some rest stop the exercise for time being and no need to worry about this, for the pain you can try "Tab Diclofenac 50 mg" sustain released once in day, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
