Since then, it has been 3 months and things  have not gotten better. In the morning I hobble around the house, literally, for about   5-10 minutes till my Achilles loosen up. Any  physical activity leaves   me hobbling for the next day or two. 

 Has anyone out there had a similar experience or heard of one?

 Same thing happened to me after Levaquin. My doctor says it's like regular tendonitis, which is normally a slow-healing  problem even if  you get it through simple overexertion. However,  I've had tendonitis and this seems much more persistent.
