A member asked:
I have a bone spur under my achilles' tendon and have developed synovitis around up my achilles' tendon. burns and hurts. can you help?

Ouch: First line of treatment is eccentric stretching of the achilles, anti-inflammatories, and modification of the heal counter of the shoe. If conservative treatment fails, then surgery is an option to remove the spur.
