Achilles Twist, Painfull Walking

When I was walking on the uneven ground at the back of a temple in Poipet during my first day of shooting I badly twisted my left foot, twisting and pulling my Achilles as well. I was not so bad immediately after it happened (maybe I was warm from the walking, adrenline etc) but later when I got back to room it really tightened up. I could hardly walk after I rested it, I had to do a tiger balm and cold medical tiger balm treatment  (stuff bought at a shop in the casino) when I got back to my room. I wanted to return and do another set of nighttime Poipet border portraits but could only walk with pain so decided to rest it, and give it another shot the following day. The next morning I felt surprisingly better so was able to go out 2 times that day both at mid day and also late at night with the Banarama 2 and flash.

I bought 10 of the larger cold medical compresses to use in Canada, hopefully by the time I return to Thailand (March?) I will have less pain in my Achilles and can walk longer and harder with more equipment.
