Football, that is! 
I play once or twice a week. My Achilles feels a little tender and have some discomfort in my calf. I usually wear supports which will help but but don't make a small problem a big one. But I love playing and don't want to let people down as I've already said I'll be there.
I play in four hours. Should I rest or play? Any sporty types out there with some tips on how to soothe niggling muscle strain?  |

"Rest....
I'll look after you 
In that case...
I'm in a lot of pain and need round the clock care. Nurse! 
Bend over, I need to check your temperature.  "
Ummm All better!   |

"Bursitis"
As a sufferer of acute bursitis I very much doubt it is that. More likely to be achilles strain, which I have also suffered from.
You need to rest and do appropriate stretches. Ie stand on a step with the ball of your foot and slowly drop your heels down. |

Thanks. I've been doing this one. Any other stretches? |

Thought that might do the trick
Seriously though, from someone who is suffering 2 years late from ignoring advice to rest.... REST |

As with running you'll need to check whether you pronate on your feet or not (inward roll of the ankle as you walk/ run).
You'll need to see if the boots you use can compensate for this or whether you need inserts on the foot bed. 
99% of all problems will stem from this
Also check out the adidas micoach app as this has specific training regimes for a variety of sports including soccer |

Sounds expensive!
Inward roll of my ankle? |

"hih Sandy, i suffer from it and it is a swelling of the sacks around the achillies"
The ankles are not a common joint for bursitis. Hips and shoulders are more common. And if the sensation is a strain in the tendon then it's not likely to be bursitis.
Ps. My name isn't Sandy that's my location! |

I had to change my job because of it! Some days I can't walk...one of a few reasons why I'm not currently meeting. Pain in the arse (quite literally as my arse hurts all the time because of it) |
