What Is Achilles Tendonitis?

The Achilles tendon attaches your calf muscles to your heel bone, or calcaneus. You use this tendon to jump, walk, run, and stand on the balls of your feet.

Continuous, intense physical activity, such as running and jumping, can cause painful inflammation of the Achilles tendon, known as Achilles tendonitis (or tendinitis).

There are two types of Achilles tendonitis: insertional Achilles tendonitis and nonInsertional Achilles tendonitis.

- Insertional Achilles tendonitis affects the lower portion of your tendon where it attaches to your heel bone.
- NonInsertional Achilles tendonitis involves fibers in the middle portion of the tendon and tends to affect younger people who are active.

How Can I Prevent Corn and Calluses?

Wearing shoes that fit better or using non-medicated pads may help. While bathing, gently rub the corn or callus with a washcloth or pumice stone to help reduce the size. To avoid infection, do not try to shave off the corn or callus. See your doctor, especially if you have diabetes or circulation problems.

What are the Symptoms of Bunions?

In people who have a bunion, the first metatarsal bone gradually moves sideways towards the other foot. As a result, the front of the foot becomes wider and the joint at the base of the big toe bulges out. The big toe leans in towards the other toes, sometimes deforming them too. Bunions can be painful, but not all of them are even if they are very big.

Does a Fracture Need a Cast?

The most common reason for anyone to need a foot or ankle cast is if they fracture a bone or break a bone. Stress fractures are caused by the impact from repetitive activities like running, jumping and walking. Ankle fractures need a cast. If the fracture is severe it may require surgery.

To heal a broken bone, it must be immobilized so that the broken ends can knit back together. In most cases, this requires a cast. Minor foot fractures typically only need a boot, removable brace, or shoe with a stiff sole.
