A leo under her clothes, down time with a kindle while we ice her heels (ice under a pink bandanna), an applesauce to go for 8:45 pm dinner following her 4 hour workout... This kid has been on pain med's since late last week and is still having trouble, still complaining, yes Beach is actually complaining her heels hurt. A common problem for gymnasts, the tendons are so tight in the lower leg they don't leave much wriggle room for growth. That Achilles Tendon isn't messing around and if it goes it will take pieces of her Calcaneus with it (if it hasn't already began pulling bits off as it stretches).
She is on restriction at gym less power tumbling more dance and no vaulting. It is the reason for today's bike ride verses a our normal pre-lunch walk. She is crying at night and waking up sore & stiff. All we can do is treat for pain, ice, stretch, and hope it improves. And if it doesn't improve by the end of the week we go in for x-rays.
