Tendonitis occurs when your foot tendon becomes inflamed or irritated. It's a common cause of foot and ankle pain and can result from overuse of the tendon, improper stretching, and exertion.
Initial treatment for tendonitis includes getting rest, applying ice to the affected area, and elevating your leg and foot. If the pain persists for more than a week, it's time to schedule an appointment with your podiatrist.
