From what do you get acheles tendent pain? is it from something you eat or the shoes you wear? how do you heal the pain?

Achilles Tendon: Achilles tendonitis is not from something you eat.... It can be caused from some shoes. But, mostly it is caused from a short muscle group behind the leg, which attaches to the Achilles tendon. When you walk or exercise strain is put on the Achilles tendon and it becomes inflammed. Occurs also in women who use heels alot and then exercise in flats...
