If symptoms continue, the tendon can become inflamed. Movements that stretch the Achilles tendon, like climbing stairs, cause particularly severe pain.

Worst in the morning, the foot pain usually diminishes during the course of the day but will become stronger when the foot is strained. With heel conditions, patients cannot roll the foot properly or put weight on it, and so they protect it.
