Complications of Achilles Tendinitis
Achilles tendinitis weakens tendon causing a slow and painful progress to Achilles tendinosis. This changes tendon structure leading to tendon tear. It causes a sharp pain in the heel similar to being hit with a stick. Surgery is the best solution to repair tendon although it may not be always possible.

– A flat-arched foot puts greater strain on Achilles tendon.
– Middle-aged men are more prone to Achilles tendinitis.
– Tight calf muscles and obesity increase tendon strain.
– Worn-out or improper footwear increases risk of Achilles tendinitis.
– Cold weather causes pain in tendon. Such pain occurs rarely in warm weather.
