Achilles Tendinitis / Tear
Typically, achilles tendinitis is not related to a specific injury. The problem comes from repetitive stress to the achilles tendon when we push our bodies to do too much like suddenly increasing the amount or intensity of exercise. A sudden increase of aggressive exercise activity can cause tight calf muscles or bone spurs leading to an achilles tendon tear.
Symptoms of Achillies Tears
- Pain and stiffness along the achilles tendon in the morning
- Pain along the tendon or back of the heel that worsens with activity
- Severe pain the day after exercising
- Thickening of the tendon
- Bone spur
- Swelling that is present all the time and gets worse throughout the day with activity
