Massage for Achilles Tendinitis

Yes, the physio didn't give me a plan just said it will take at least 6 months with 2 -3 visits per week. She gave me one exercise to do daily. The massage makes me feel more rested but I can do my own massage with anti inflammatory creams without paying $90 per session.

I have sprained both ankles n broke my right ankle twice. I use voltarin cream n aspran cream n rub n exercise daily but still extremely painful they stay swollen. Affects my walking badly

I want to learn about alternative measures. Any acupuncture, oils or etc.?

I've been to multiple doctors who still don't know if there's anything wrong with my tendon. Having this injury for 4+ years has been quite annoying, especially when I do activities such as dance, netball, soccer and gymnastics and sometimes just walking in general causes me pain. It has been unfortunate that I have had to give up some of these things because of my injury. I have been to a couple of PT sessions but they don't do much to help improve my tendon. If anyone has any advice that would be helpful. Thank you.

Rest,stretching and massaging w creams and oils. Doctor will not give me a cortisone shot out of fear it would be to painful. I really do need something done.
