Re: Achilles Tendon pain
Most certainly get it checked out. I had inflamed my Achilles tendon quite a few years due to overuse from drumming, long time in the car etc. Had to ease back on rehearsals and gig work (although I kept the tuition work up, which meant I could at least be at ease and break up my time on the kit), and was given ibuprofen and massages. Thank heavens I often play with a double pedal, as I started using the left beater more, gaining more strength with the left foot whilst the right one I'd rest on the pedal as I'd play, until my right foot recovered. I still warm and stretch my ankles, feet, etc before I play nowadays.
