What is Achilles Tendinitis? 

Achilles tendinitis is a relatively common condition that occurs when the large tendon that is located on the back of the lower leg becomes inflamed. This could happen to anyone, but it typically happens to runners and athletes. Causes of Achilles tendinitis include tight calf muscles and a sudden spike in the intensity or amount of exercise that is being performed.
