What could cause the back of my heel to hurt?
-
The back side of my heel hurts throuhout the day. The tenderness is located just above the heel bone where the Achilles tendon is. It is different from the pain that occurs on the bottom of the foot, and it often feels worse when I flex my foot or try to push off during walking. I also notice some stiffness in the area, and sometimes it feels irritated by the back of my shoe. I am trying to figure out if this is related to tendon strain, inflammation, or a bone spur. I am not too active so I do not know if it could be Achilles Tendonitis, but I read that is usually from being active and over using that tendon. Is there anything else that this pain could be?
