Inflammation of the Achilles tendon is called Achilles tendinitis (also spelled tendonitis).
Or, you may be looking for "plantar fasciitis", which can be caused by stress from a tight Achilles tendon. This is often most noticed in the morning upon first walking. The fascia that runs along the bottom of the foot becomes inflamed and painful, especially at the heel (often due to simple "fallen arches" of the feet).
F-A-S-C-I-I-T-I-S is correctly spelled with a total of 3 "I's".
Pronounced: fash-ee-I-tis with the accent on the 3rd syllable.
Normally, the pain from overuse is accompanied only by soreness and stiffness, and it is called "Achilles tendinosis."
Tendinopathy is a term that encompasses both tendinosis and tendinitis.
Occasionally, and especially in sports involving sprinting and jumping, there can be actual damage to the tendon, called an "Achilles tendon rupture," and requiring immobilization or even surgery.
Achilles Tendonitis is the painful inflammation of the Achilles tendon. There are two types of tendonitis, insertional and the non-insertional tendonitis.
Achilles tendinitis
An achillobursitis is an inflammation of a bursa near to the Achilles tendon.
Your ankle could be sprained. Achilles Tendonitis occurs when your tendon has become irritated and inflamed. This may happen for many reasons. If you have tendonitis the area of your Achilles tendon would be tender, be painful to move, and/or swollen.
