thank you for your time.

Answer
dear harry
you can get a weight and it doesn"t have to be a dumbell.let it hang off your foot and then curl your foot up.you will probably have to sit on a table with your legs droping down.another thing is i recomend for people who exercise a lot is 1500 to 2000 mg. of vitimen c for srrong conective tissue and collengen.a must have.
last i don"t no how long you have been working out or how consistant you are but your body adapts over time.called tendon adaption.to reduce inflamation and pain i would ice it after your workouts for 15 minutes.
it will eventully subside if you are consistant with the process......hope that helps harry....let me know how your doing
the best to you
