About Achilles and Peroneal Tendinopathy:

Achilles and peroneal tendinopathy are common conditions that affect the tendons in the lower leg, leading to pain and discomfort.

Achilles Tendinopathy: This condition involves pain and inflammation in the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. It often results from overuse, especially in activities that involve running or jumping. Symptoms typically include pain and stiffness at the back of the ankle, which may worsen with activity.

Peroneal Tendinopathy: This condition affects the peroneal tendons located on the outer side of the lower leg. These tendons help stabilize the ankle and foot during movement. Peroneal tendinopathy can cause pain and swelling along the outer ankle, particularly with activities that involve ankle rotation or lateral movements.

Both conditions can significantly impact mobility and athletic performance. Understanding the underlying causes, symptoms, and treatment options is crucial for effective management and recovery.
