I had three episodes. The key each time was 8 weeks or so NO, zero, nada running. It has been a year since the last episode. I did have ART, Graston, needling......it greatly improved recovery time. The assessment isolated the root cause and I began a functional strength routine for hips, gluteus.

I have been dealing with a sore/tender achilles at about the midway point. I have done PT, dry needling, ice massage, and eccentric heel drops. There is very little to no tightness or stiffness in the morning, however there is a bump that is there when I wake in the morning. After about 2 minutes of walking around it is gone or if I gently massage it, it also goes away.
I have not run for about 10 days. I have been battling this for about 8 weeks now. I was running intermittently, but I have pulled the plug entirely on running now. I can walk around with no issues at all.
Has anybody dealt with something like this bump in the morning only to have it go away?

I've been battling chronic achilles tendinosis for about a year and a half, I shut down running for a full year. What I've found is PT (particularly ASTEM treatment and dry needling) have helped immensely.
Also, not to rag on the stick but I've found the trigger point grid roller to be much more effective. Every morning I heat pat the area, roll it out for a few and then get a good stretch in the calf/ankle.
