Achilles tendinitis

The Achilles tendon, also called the calcaneal tendon is a tough band of fibrous tissue that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone (calcaneus). Achilles tendinitis is an overuse injury of the Achilles tendon caused by continuous intense physical activity, such as running and jumping. Symptoms include : discomfort or swelling in the back of your heel tight calf muscles limited range of motion when flexing your foot skin on your heel overly warm to the touch Multiple treatment options are available for Achilles tendonitis, ranging from home remedies, like rest and anti-inflammatory medication, to more invasive treatments, like steroid injections, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, and surgery.

Yes! The pain associated with Achilles tendinitis typically begins as a mild ache in the back of the leg or above the heel after running or other sports activity. Episodes of more-severe pain may occur after prolonged running, stair climbing or sprinting.
