Compensation?: When one joint or muscle hurts, we naturally compensate with other joints or muscles causing undue stress and function on a previously unused structure. Discuss with your physician.

Compensation: Compensation is correct particularly the gastrocnemius muscle lies in the back of the knee and connects w the achilles tendon which can commonly become inflammed.
