Was this your case or was it completely mysterious?

I chalk it up to just repetitive strain injury - the excessive amount of walking I do. The Niagara escarpment trails are extremely rugged terrain at the best of times, lots of loose rock, climbing, etc.
It may be somewhat related to torn ligaments and cartiledge (twice) in the ankle about 30 years ago - perhaps catching up and manifesting itself in the achilles tendon. The ankle has always been rather weak after the cartiledge problems.
Tough to say for sure. I do tend to sit in a lot of contorted positions at the computer for long periods...but I don't think that's the root cause of the probs.
Thanks for the input, tho.
