"Akin to the ideal victim, the ideal claimant of hidden disability must navigate a system built by (and from the perspective of) those with specific preconceived notions of what it means to be a person with a disability and to present as one."

A few years ago, I developed Achilles tendonopathy. It manifested as a feeling like I had a bad blister on the back of my heels, only there was no blister. Everything looked normal. But it took me a year of daily physio and not being able to jump or move faster than a slow walk before the pain went away.

It's started to feel like that again recently, and I have no idea what could have caused it.

When I had it before, it was an overtraining injury. I was practicing Thai kickboxing several times a week. It has a LOT of hopping. And our warmups were lots of rope jumping. Double-unders and such. I loved kickboxing until my tendons wouldn't let me do it anymore.

This time, I haven't been running. I haven't been jumping. I am not overtraining at all. No idea what is causing it. I really hope it isn't returning, because the pain was often excruciating.

I'm going to a physiotherapist tomorrow. It's for something else, but hopefully they can check out my Achilles tendons and help me figure out what's going on.

My body sure loves trolling me. And I sure do miss martial arts.
