A member asked:

Does achilles tendonitis cause knee pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Ronald Krauser answered

Not directly: It can cause a person to alter gait and put increased stress on the knee. Also, this are some arthritis conditions that can cause inflammation of the knee and achilles tendon at the same time.
