    I’m unsure, but I think I might have Achilles tendinitis. It’s been hurting off and on for a couple weeks, but these past few days my left Achilles has been hurting non stop. I’ve still been tumbling and doing everything at practice normally, but I’m still in pain even when walking. It’s worse...

    Thank you!! Also, is there a replacement for milk? I hate milk by itself (by that I mean I’m fine with products made with milk, but not just the milk)

    Gymnasts Will gaining weight help?

    Thank you, I will look into a nutritionist. What sparked this topic is my doctor saying I need to increase my caloric intake.
