Every step shouldn’t be a struggle. Yet for those battling tendonitis, even the simplest activities—a morning walk, playing with children, or standing at work—can become painful challenges.

Causes of Tendonitis Pain in Ankles and Feet
Tendonitis in the foot and ankle often results from repetitive motion, overuse, or sudden increases in activity levels. Runners, athletes, and individuals who engage in high-impact activities are particularly prone to developing tendonitis due to the strain on their tendons. Poor footwear and improper alignment can also contribute to the development of tendonitis by placing added pressure on the tendons.
The Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscle to the heel bone, and the peroneal tendons along the outer edge of the foot are especially susceptible to inflammation. Other factors, such as age and underlying conditions like arthritis, can weaken tendons over time, making them more vulnerable to irritation and injury. Our podiatrist can assess these factors and help you take preventive steps to avoid pain from foot and ankle tendonitis in the future.
Signs & Symptoms of Tendonitis
It’s never a good idea to ignore the warning signs of tendonitis, as early intervention is key to preventing chronic pain and long-term damage to your foot or ankle tendons. While occasional foot discomfort is common, certain persistent symptoms like these indicate it’s time to seek professional care:
- Persistent pain in the foot, ankle, or Achilles tendon
- Swelling and tenderness around the affected area
- Pain that worsens with movement or activity
- Stiffness and limited range of motion in the foot or ankle
- Pain on the outside of the foot or along the Achilles tendon
