Achilles tendonitis refers to irritation and inflammation of the Achilles tendon which is located in the back of the ankle. Pain and swelling are typical symptoms, but over the long run the tendon can weaken and rupture this is a serious matter since it may cause chronic pain and disability. Typically patients experience most of the pain during running and jumping.

Taking antibiotics ruptured my tendon: The hidden dangers of everyday drugs we assume are harmless
By Jo Waters
When Judy Thomas was prescribed a strong antibiotic to shift her chest infection, she didn’t think twice about it.
‘It was a few days before Christmas and I was just relieved to get something before the holidays,’ says Judy, 59, a housewife from Ferndown, Dorset.
‘It was a high dose of 500mg of ciprofloxacin twice a day for five days. My GP didn’t mention any possible side-effects.’
Three days later, Judy woke up with an all-pervading tight feeling in the backs of both calves.
‘I could barely walk; I thought the tendon was going to snap,’ she recalls.
‘Ten days later, when I was standing making tea in the kitchen, something did seem to snap in the back of my left calf.
Enzyme breakdown of tendons could cause flat feet
The Press Association
Researchers at the University of East Anglia found that the increased activity of these enzymes can break down the constituents of the tibialis posterior tendon and weaken it, causing the foot arch to fall.
The condition, which often goes undiagnosed, is most common in women over 40 and occurs when the tibialis posterior tendon gradually ‘stretches out’ over time.
High heels and standing or walking for long periods are thought to be risk factors for the condition alongside known risk factors such as obesity, hypertension and diabetes.
However, the exact causes of the stretching have never been identified.
The researchers say their study marks an important advance in understanding the causes of adult-acquired flat feet and may eventually lead to a new drug for the condition.
