Achilles Tendinitis www.nucleusinc.com The Achilles tendon can become irritated for several reasons including: A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease or condition. Symptoms may include: The doctor will ask about your symptoms and exercise habits, and perform a physical exam.
Extractions: David Holt specialized in orthopedics 20 years ago, and has been a regular runner for longer than that. Here is his advice on two key exercise injuries. The Achilles tendon attaches to the Calf Muscle. Strain the gastrocnemious muscle and you'll have placed great pressure on the Achilles tendon. Strained the Achilles or have chronic Achilles tendinitis...look to the calf muscle for associated injury or muscle shortness. Shortening of the Achilles tendon and calf muscle is a big part of the problem. Avoid high heels...you don't have to follow the fashions. Heel inserts are a great aid to reducing strain on the Achilles tendon, but are not effective unless you also work on the flexibility aspect with whichever two or three stretches you prefer from:

Extractions: The Achilles tendon is the tendon that connects the calf muscle (gastrocnemius) to the heel bone (calcaneus). This is the tendon that is just below the skin at the back of the ankle. As with most tendon injuries, this tendon may be injured. Figure 1 : Posterior View of Normal Achilles' Tendon as it goes from gastrocnemius muscle to the calcaneus. When the gastrocnemius muscle (in the calf) contracts (shortens), the tendon which is attached from the muscle to the heel bone (calcaneus) moves. As the muscle shortens, the tendon moves to point the foot downwards. This is the action that allows a person to stand on one's toes, to run, to jump, to walk normally, and to go up and down stairs. (Click HERE for an animation of the gastrocnemius contracting.) Achilles tendonitis is an inflammation of the tendon. It often results from a small stretch injury that causes the tendon to become swollen, painful and less flexibility than the normal tendon. (Click HERE for an animation of Achilles' tendonitis.) Untreated, this injury may fail to heal, or progress to a chronically painful condition. Of course, in some people, the tear may progress to a complete rupture of the tendon. (Click

Side Effect Of Tendonitis In Achilles Tendons? Well, I ve had three doses of Seroquel and the achilles tendon pain is back.(I had absolutely no pain the five days I was between meds). http://www.rxlist.com/rxboard/risperdal.pl?read=123
Extractions: The Achilles tendon is fibrous tissue that connects the heel to the muscles of the lower leg: the calf muscles. Leg muscles are the most powerful muscle group in the body and the Achilles tendon is the thickest and strongest tendon in the body. Contracting the calf muscles pulls the Achilles tendon, which pushes the foot downward. This contraction enables: standing on the toes, walking, running, and jumping. Each Achilles tendon is subject to a persons entire body weight with each step. Depending upon speed, stride, terrain and additional weight being carried or pushed, each Achilles tendon may be subject to up to 3-12 times a persons body weight during a sprint or push off. For more information on Achilles tendon anatomy see: Physiology.
Achilles Tendinitis achilles tendinitis or inflammation of the achilles tendon. The achillestendon is the large tendon at the back of the ankle. It connects the large calf http://www.sportsinjuryclinic.net/cybertherapist/back/achilles/tendinitis.htm
Extractions: The Achilles tendon is the large tendon at the back of the ankle. It connects the large calf muscles (Gastrocnemius and Soleus) to the heal bone (calcaneus). This tendon can become inflammed through overuse as well as a number of contributory factors. It is estimated that 11% of all running injuries can be due to Achilles tendinitis. The Achilles tendon has a poor blood supply which is why it is slow to heal. Achilles tendinitis can be acute or chronic. Acute tendinitis will happen as a result of overuse or training too much, too soon especially on hard surfaces or up hills. If your feet roll in when you run or overpronate then this can increase the strain on the Achilles tendon because the tendon is twisted as the foot rolls in. If the warning signs of Achilles tendinitis are ignored or it is not allowed to heal properly then the injury can become chronic. Chronic Achilles tendinitis is a difficult condition to treat. The pains experienced during the acute phase of the injury tend to disappear after a warm up but return when training has stopped. Eventually the injury gets worse and worse until it is impossible to run.
Extractions: by Stephen M. Pribut, DPM Symptoms and Causes: the biggest contributor to chronic achilles tendonitis is ignoring pain Achilles tendonitis is the bane of many runners. You should not allow this to turn into a chronic and troubling malady leading to moans about how it will never end, contributing to roadsides strewn with air cushioned clad runners all wh ice packs attached to their heels. First, we will review some basic information about the achilles tendon. The achilles tendon is the connection between the heel and the most powerful muscle group in the body. This has long been known as a site prone to disabling injury. Forces up to 12 times body weight (9kN) may arise during sprinting. This tendon is named after Achilles, who according to myth was protected from wounds by being dipped in a magical pond by his mother. She held him by the heel, which was not immersed, and later died by an arrow wound in his heel. Although obviously, injuries to this area must have been known for more than 2,000 years, it was first reported in the medical literature by Ambroise Paré only 400 years ago.
Achilles Injury There s that sharp pain again on the inside of your achilles tendon. The mostcommon factors predisposing you to achilles tendon injuries are http://www.medic8.com/healthguide/articles/achillesinjury.html
Extractions: Dr Ruth Highet - Sports Physician You've just completed an excellent session of speed work at the track, doing 10 x 400 repeats, then decide you'll do 2 more - your rationale being "gotta be good for that race coming up in 4 weeks time if I have a faster sprint to the finish line!" The 11th 400m goes well - exact same pace as the previous 6, so on the last 400, a little voice says - "go for it" at the 200m. In the split-second you decide to make this one faster than the last 7, you feel an agonisingly sharp pain in the lower calf area that immediately pulls you up. You hobble to a post just off the track - and stretch out your calf. There's that sharp pain again on the inside of your Achilles tendon. You sit down and try to massage it yourself, very tender! You decide to get home as quickly as possible to get some ice onto it!
BOFFS - Achilles Tendon The achilles tendon (or heel cord) is the thick strap that can be felt running When the achilles tendon pulls on the heel it makes us go up on tiptoe, http://www.bofss.org.uk/html/achilles_tendon.shtml
Extractions: Some questions answered The Achilles tendon (or heel cord) is the thick strap that can be felt running down the back of the calf into the heel. The tendon is made up of many bundles or fibres of a strong material called collagen, which is the body's main tissue building block. It is attached to, and worked by, the large muscles that make up the calf (gastrocnemius and soleus). When the Achilles tendon pulls on the heel it makes us go up on tiptoe, or pushes us forwards when walking or running. If this tendon is not working it is difficult to walk and the ankle feels weak. As we get older the tendon becomes less flexible and less able to absorb the repeated stresses of running. Eventually small "degenerative" tears develop in the fibres of the tendon. The body tries to repair these tears. Sometimes the repair process is successful. However, the blood supply of the lower part of the tendon is not very strong and the combination of this and the continued stresses of running mean that the tendon may not completely heal. Instead, the tendon and its lining become painful and swollen, and the tendon may feel weak. The combination of degenerative and repair processes in the tendon is called tendonosis (or sometimes tendonitis). Because the lining of the tendon is called its tenosynovium, inflammation of the lining is called tenosynovitis.
Achilles Tendon Rupture This site contains information about achilles tendon rupture. http://www.mamashealth.com/foot/acrupture.asp
Extractions: What is an Achilles Tendon Rupture? An Achilles tendon rupture is tear of the Achilles tendon. It is a common condition. A rupture can be partial or complete. Usually the rupture occurs just above your heel bone, but it can happen anywhere along the tendon. The Achilles tendon is a large, strong fibrous cord that connects the muscles in the back of your lower leg to your heel bone. It helps you point your foot downward, rise on your toes and push off your foot as you walk. The Achilles tendon is also called the heel cord. Symptoms of an Achilles Tendon Rupture? The most common symptoms of an Achilles tendon rupture are: If the Achilles tendon is completely ruptured, you will not be able to rise on your toes on the injured leg What Causes an Achilles Tendon Rupture ?
