As time goes on describes my Achillies tendon, it just wears outand the pain and burning get worse. I guess I have had it for years. I used to be able to stand on risers and sing barbershop music as long as I wanted but it burns after about 30 min. now. I am currently wearing the boot and that helps a lot, Lots of other things have had to be slowed down but thats ok I just turned 68 yrs. and am doing well. Jerry
