I am due to have the above operation to repair cronic tendonitis.

Has anyone on here had similar and how long did recovery back to fitness take?

Cheers in advance.

Guilty as charged! Around 4 weeks I seem to remember before I started training quite hard again, but was hobbling around well before that. Worked for me I was going to have to get the other one done as well but started using magnetic insoles in my shoes & it improved tremendously! So much so that I cancelled the op.

In reply to Bill Davidson: Thank's will research magnetic insoles as the doc is talking about doing one then the other.

Cool, If you do try them make sure you get a good pair. I believe there are a lot of crap ones out there.
In reply to Alan Taylor:

I suffered from chronic tendonosis in the Achilles as well.

I was scheduled for an operation but had shockwave therapy which worked.

I wouldn't bother with quackery like magic magnets.
