Heel Bursitis vs Achilles Tendinitis Exam

In this video called heel bursitis vs Achilles tendinitis exam I discuss what a subcutaneous calcaneal bursitis is and what it presents like. I also review what causes an Achilles tendinitis, how it's different from heel bursitis and how to treat it.

Mine hurts no matter the footwear: boots, shoes, crocs, and barefoot. Seems to happen if I am on my feet a lot. As soon as I sit down and get back up is when the pain is the worst

[RobDaman]

Great info. My suspicion of bursitis is now confirmed

I have both conditions in each foot! I am dealing with bursitis in my right foot and Achilles Tendinitis in my left foot. Thanks for this video. It's already helped me to identify what's going on with me.

Subscribed the minute i found you. I got both from ovrrstretching to get rid of Plantars F. My legs are as strong as iron. I still gently lift with them every 2.5 to 3 days. I even cut the back of my shoes off, down to the inside of the sole. Tnen i brought duct tape up from the bottom of the shoe and taped it up close to the calf, and lightly wrapped it with tape to keep it up. A little relief, but im at about six weeks. Cold ice packs every other day. Youre great. Thank you for putting this up.

First time I have found a real and clear explanation for my pain, thanks for your video.
Also, I have swelling behind my knee and the pain goes down my calf to my heel, not sure if it's all related to the same problem... I will definitely watch more of your videos.

They keep diagnosing me with Plantar Fasciatis. They even gave me injections which didn’t work for even a moment. My arch is not sore. I keep telling them it’s the very back bottom of my heel.

Thnx "I had to get to the bottom of this" 😂😂😂 I'll be here all week yall

[sookiesunda]

This is great. Please continue your educational videos. I appreciate them!

[AmericanHuskyCash]

Probably went through 18 videos and this one was rhe most helpful

[AtotheZness]

Great explanation. I may have bursitis after all. I feel it to the right of my Achilles, but not the Achilles itself. Either way, thanks for the help!

[eleonoradjurdjic]

Wow! Excellent! Super informative and helpful!!! Thank you SO MUCH!!

[WomanTakenBytheWind]

Ahhh I’m pretty sure the bursitis issue is the problem. Finally have a name to ask my doctor about. Thanks.

[nothankyou]

Oh, thats just great!! Im going to watch the whole video, but did you just tell me i have both. Having the Planters Fasciitist up til a few weeks ago wasnt bad enough?¿?¿ Hey, best wishes and best of future luck!

I was fidgeting with my feet and was kicking out my left foot with my right while creating some resistance, causing my left foot to be bending backwards. Then I felt a pop on my right foot—achilles, heel, Bursitis region—no pain but discomfort. There's discomfort when I walk, but there's only a pinch or stabbing-like pain when I try to force myself to walk with a full range of motion.

 This video eased my anxiety for a second I thought the only possible reason was a tear.

[martininevada]

Thanks so much for this Info’ it’s my Achilles for sure.

[DSPNWtoCali]

So achille tendonitis is my problem. Glad you show exactly what i need to know.

[morbidmutilator]

Subscrbed just for the information. Its been killing me for a year now. Massaged the back of the calf have some relief. Not enough info on this topic everywhere else. Much appreciated.

[devbandy]

I can tell mine is bursitis because, when I take my left feet back straight and bend my right leg , there is a stretch on my left heel . And that's where the pain is but my right leg is fine. I am looking for exercise for bursitis but can't find much .

[fotmasta]

That was a thorough helpful video. Well done.

[JonBoyHartz]

I typically get heel bursitis when I run with overly cushioned running shoes. When I heel strike, the additional cushioning comes up and puts pressure on the bursa. Frustrating because as a heavier, hybrid athlete, my knees could really benefit from high stack shoes.
