Achilles Tendonitis is a condition of irritation and inflammation of the large tendon in the back of the ankle. Although it is the largest tendon in the body, it is also the weakest and most prone to injury.
If your calf muscles ache or your Achilles tendon feels swollen or tight, you may be suffering from the condition.
Achilles Tendonitis foot problem is an injury caused by overuse of the muscle and usually occurs in middle-aged, athletic people.
