Anil Kapoor Recounts His 10-Year Struggle with Achilles’ Tendon

The transformational videos of Actor Anil Kapoor on Instagram all through the lockdown have served as an inspiration to many. Those who saw the actor in his early days know that he was still trim. But it's just in the 60s that he's got a muscular frame. Wait before you hear the story of what he was up against on his path to a superbly fit body. The actor has demonstrated how he's been dealing with the Achilles tendon for the last 10 years and has now conquered it.

Anil wrote: "I had been suffering from an Achilles' tendon issue for over 10 years... Doctors around the world had told me that surgery was my only option...Dr. Muller, through a series of rejuvenating treatments, took me from limping to walking to running to finally skipping...without any surgery..." He also shared a bunch of pictures that show him skipping. Two of them are with his doctor who helped him recover, reports Hindustan Times.

Achilles' tendon are a bunch of fibrous tissues at the back of the lower leg. Various abnormalities can take place there which could lead to inflammation and degeneration causing pain.

His fans were full of praise for him; one said: "more power to you sir" while another said: "wow super". A third person said: "Sir you are lucky that u met a good doctor who opted for rejuvenating treatment else most of the doctors these days are already ready with aprons to operate", in appreciation for Anil's Dr. Muller.

Anil's struggle has made his body transformation look even more praiseworthy. In April, he had shared his experience of body building and mentioned how he achieved it without having supplements. He had written: "I made this post not to show off or talk myself up, but to pass on some simple advice.

When it comes to body building, nothing is beyond us. At different ages, we can work differently to achieve great results. If you're asking if you need to spend a lot of money on supplements to achieve this, the answer is no. I have not taken any kind of supplements in this process." A more recent video of Anil sprinting on the beach too had won him a lot of applause.
