tendonitis
hi my name is chris. I am a paramedic from the far north of canada. I have a question regarding achilles tendonitis. It started about a month ago as a pain in the calve that was very mild.over the last couple of weeks I have had pain at the base of the tendon and in the ball of the foot. It is described as a tight burning feeling when I extend my legs. What I found odd was that it is now in both achilles.swelling is minimal and the pain is not debilitating.my question is whether or not this could be indicative of a systemic problem or just a bad pair of steel toe boots. I am 27 years old and in otherwise good health as far as I know.my mother has tendonitis of the wrists that was a spontaneous cond with no related trauma such as myself.what’s your diagnosis?

How much swollen is your foot? Does it hurt a lot? 🙁
