When my ankles are cold, and sometimes just at random, what feels like my achilles tendon tightens up so much that I am unable to move the ankle without severe pain and fear of snapping the tendon! I try to rub the ankle and try to work out the tightens. Sometimes I am successful but sometimes it take an hour or so to return to normal. When this happens, it normally happens often for a week or so. I am 32 years old but this has been happening to me for many, many years but it seems to be worsening. Why does this happen; how can I stop it when it happens; and how can I prevent it from happening?
