Get diagnosed...: A number of things can cuase this. Strains are most responsive to rest and avoidance of stetching of the heel cord. However, there are a number of studies showing that tendinosis (tendinopathy) is best resolved through eccentric stretching exercises. Be evaluated and treated by an orthopaedic foot and ankle surgeon in your area can be found at: orthodoc.Aaos.Org/footankle.
