It connects the triceps sural muscle to the heel. This area contains small pockets of synovial fluid. Called bursae, these pockets facilitate gliding and reduce friction during movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We speak of <strong><mark class=\"has-inline-color has-sport-color\">Achilles tendon bursitis<\/mark><\/strong> or calcaneal bursitis when one or more bursae become inflamed. Pain occurs when walking, stretching or training. The area becomes red, tender and swollen.

If, on the other hand, it is linked to other conditions, the onset of symptoms is gradual. Walking becomes difficult, the back of the heel heats up, the area swells and becomes red and painful. A small, highly sensitive plaque forms, making it impossible to wear shoes and causing severe pain.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Posterior bursitis of the Achilles tendon: <\/strong>At first, the Achilles tendon appears red and warm. After a while, the top layer of skin may peel off. After a few months, the area becomes prominent and soft, and may be red or pale and highly inflammatory. In chronic bursitis, the bursa hardens and takes on a scarred appearance.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever the symptoms, it's essential to consult a doctor to rule out other pathologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/stimcareonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/STIMCARE-BURSITE-TENDON-ACHILLE-PIED.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28951\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stimcareonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/STIMCARE-BURSITE-TENDON-ACHILLE-PIED.jpg 600w, https:\/\/stimcareonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/STIMCARE-BURSITE-TENDON-ACHILLE-PIED-300x250.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The main risk factors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark class=\"has-inline-color has-sport-color\">The shoes<\/mark><\/strong> and foot positioning are the primary risk factors.
