A member asked:

What does it mean if whenever i run i get pain in achilles tendon?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

See below.: Tight achiiles tendons is one possibility. Make sure you stretch properly, especially after completing your run. May not be getting enough foot support. Orthotics and more supportive shoes are often helpful.

Tendonopathy: You may have a small tear in the tendon, or a region of inflammation or degeneration.
