    I always have sore Achilles tendons after playing on hard surfaces. It goes away if I play on mats or sprung floors, but the hall I usually play in has solid floors that feel like concrete.

    The whole length of the tendon feels sore and the pain stays for about 2 days. It aches slightly when I walk afterwards.

    Does anyone else get this? Is there a remedy? Ice? Putting your feet up?

    Thanks for any help you can give

    Wear 2 pairs of technical socks. But you'll need half size larger shoes. This is what I do.

    Or change the insole to a more cushiony one.

    Or both. Which is what I do.

    If the whole length of the tendon feels sore including the calf muscles then mey be give it a rest and then join back.

    Icing definitely helps initially.
    Wearing those supporters like the footballers also keep the muscles supple (atleast in winters).
    You can try investing in better badminton shoes or insoles..
    Otherwise improve on footwork..
