@381dbcc7: Rest is definitely important for healing, but it's also important to keep the affected area mobile to prevent stiffness and promote healing. You can try gentle stretching exercises for your Achilles tendon, but be sure not to overdo it and cause further damage. Additionally, you can try using a brace or compression bandage to support the affected area and reduce swelling. Remember to listen to your body and take it easy if you're experiencing pain or discomfort.
