Inflammation of the Achilles tendon is called Achilles tendinitis (also spelled tendonitis).-itis is the medical term for inflammation.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).Plantar is the medical word for bottom of the foot.fasci- refers to fascia (a type of connective tissue).-itis means inflammationF-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."fash" as in the word fashion,"ee" as in coffee,"I" as in eye,"tis" as in arthritis.It is relatively rare for the pain in the Achilles tendon to be accompanied by actual inflammation, but if it is, the term is "Achilles tendinitis." 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.
