Achilles Tendinitis
The Achilles tendon is the largest in your body,
connecting the back of the leg with the heel
bone. The function of this tendon is to
dorsiflexion of the foot and propulsion.
Prolonged use of this tendon can cause pain and
swelling called Achilles tendonitis.1 Achilles
tendinitis commonly occurs in athletes and
runners, particularly off-routine exertions. It
is also seen in middle-aged people who play
basketball or tennis. The majority of the
symptoms of Achilles tendinitis, like pain and
swelling, can be self-treated at home. But some
cases may show significant swelling signs, which
needs the doctors supervision.2
