Popping/bubbly Achilles

HermanBloom Sep 2017 9:12am, 11 Sep 2017 5174 posts	0 HermanBloom Hey gang, Long-term injured runner with hip stuff, followed by a baby arrival, meant I have done little running for two years. Been on the comeback trail and no issues post-surgery etc. One thing I have noticed, after the last three club evening runs of between 7 and 10km, is that for the next 48 hours I feel a small popping or bubble bursting type feeling in my right achilles area. Only happens when walking down stairs, only lasts for a couple of days, no pain either during or after the runs in that area at all. I have done three Thursday evening runs, each with a fortnight apart. The odd parkrun here and there doesn't have this issue arising. Just wondered if anyone else had has this?
