Overview Retrocalcaneal bursitis is the inflammation of the retrocalcaneal bursa, which is located behind the heel bone, also known as the calcaneal bone (hence the name retrocalcaneal). The retrocalcaneal bursa is a thin, slippery, fluid-filled sac that serves as a both a cushion and lubricant between the heel bone and the Achilles tendon. Inflammation of the retrocalcaneal bursa usually results from irritation of the bursa. This irritation may be due to certain activities, an underlying health condition such as arthritis, or an abnormality of the foot, such the development of a boney prominence on the calcaneal bone, called a Haglund's deformity. Causes Posterior heel pain can come from one of several causes. When a physician is talking about posterior heel pain, he or she is referring to pain behind the heel, not below it. Pain underneath the heel, on the bottom of the foot, has several causes including Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome. Plantar Fasciitis. Heel Spurs. Symptoms In retrocalcaneal bursitis, pain at the back of the heel is the main complaint from patients. Pain may worsen when tip-toeing, running uphill, jumping or hopping. Often, those who are accustomed to wearing high-heeled shoes on a long-term basis may also complain of pain at the back of the heel when switching to flat shoes. This is because when in high-heeled shoes, the calf muscle and the Achilles tendon are in a shortened position. Switching to flat shoes would cause an increased stretch to the calf muscle and Achilles tendon, irritating the Achilles tendon and the retrocalcaneal bursa. Other symptoms may include redness and swelling at the back of the heel. Diagnosis Obtaining a detailed history from the patient is important in diagnosing calcaneal bursitis. The following complaints (which the physician should ask about during the subjective examination) are commonly reported by patients. Other inquiries that the physician should make include the following. The clinician should ask about the patient's customary footwear (whether, for example, it includes high-heeled shoes or tight-fitting athletic shoes). The patient should be asked specifically about any recent change in footwear, such as whether he/she is wearing new athletic shoes or whether the patient has made a transition from flat shoes to high heels or vice versa. Individuals who have been accustomed to wearing high-heeled shoes on a long-term basis may find that switching to flat shoes causes increased stretch and irritation of the Achilles tendon and the associated bursae. The specifics of a patient's activity level should be ascertained, including how far the patient runs and, in particular, whether the individual is running with greater intensity than before or has increased the distance being run. The history of any known or suspected underlying rheumatologic conditions, such as gout, rheumatoid arthritis, or seronegative spondyloarthropathies, should be obtained. Non Surgical Treatment The most important part of treating bursitis is resting your Achilles tendon while the bursa heals. Resting your ankle as much as possible may decrease swelling and keep the bursitis from getting worse. When the pain decreases, begin normal, slow movements. Ice causes blood vessels to constrict (get small) which helps decrease inflammation (swelling, pain, and redness). Put crushed ice in a plastic bag or use a bag of frozen corn or peas. Cover it with a towel. Put this on your heel for 15 to 20 minutes, three to four times each day. Do not sleep on the ice pack because you can get frostbite. After two or three days, you may try using heat to decrease pain and stiffness. Use a hot water bottle, heating pad, whirlpool or warm, moist compress. To make a compress, dip a clean washcloth in warm water. Wring out the extra water and put it on your heel for 15 to 20 minutes, three to four times each day. Your caregiver may tell you to switch between treating your heel with ice packs and heat treatments. Follow the caregiver's directions carefully when doing feet examined these treatments. Surgical Treatment Only if non-surgical attempts at treatment fail, will it make sense to consider surgery. Surgery for retrocalcanel bursitis can include many different procedures. Some of these include removal of the bursa, removing any excess bone at the back of the heel (calcaneal exostectomy), and occasionally detachment and re-attachment of the Achilles tendon. If the foot structure and shape of the heel bone is a primary cause of the bursitis, surgery to re-align the heel bone (calcaneal osteotomy) may be considered. Regardless of which exact surgery is planned, the goal is always to decrease pain and correct the deformity. The idea is to get you back to the activities that you really enjoy. Your foot and ankle surgeon will determine the exact surgical procedure that is most likely to correct the problem in your case. But if you have to have surgery, you can work together to develop a plan that will help assure success.

−	Overview<br>~~Heel bursitis~~ is ~~specifically the inflammation of the retrocalcaneal bursa~~, ~~located at the back of the heel~~, ~~under the Achilles tendon~~. ~~There are a handful of factors that put you at risk for developing~~ heel ~~bursitis. Long distance runners are prone~~ to ~~heel bursitis~~, ~~due to repeated stress and pounding upon~~ the ~~heel joint. Engaging in activities such as running, bicycling, walking, jumping, and stair climbing for extended periods~~ of ~~time can overwork~~ the ~~heel joints~~ and ~~start to irritate the bursae~~. ~~Suddenly changing to a high-intensity workout regime puts a lot of stress on~~ the heel~~, making it vulnerable~~ to injury. Hard blows/bumps to the heel can immediately damage the bursae, leading to swelling and inflammation. Training at high intensities without stretching and warming up can also contribute to the development of heel bursitis. ~~Even improper footwear~~ can ~~be a big factor. Some other conditions can put you at risk as well, such as: tarsal tunnel syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, plantar fasciitis, muscle weakness, joint stiffness, and~~ [http://~~Rosywalstrom~~.~~wordpress~~.~~com~~/~~2015~~/01/~~05/workouts~~-~~for~~-~~restless~~-~~legs~~ heel spurs]. ~~It is very important to get a professional diagnosis if you are having heel pain because heel bursitis is often confused for~~ Achilles ~~tendonitis~~, ~~and~~ the ~~proper treatments are very different~~. ~~The~~ pain ~~could also be plantar fasciitis or general heel pain syndrome~~.<br><br>~~Causes~~<br>~~Repetitive overuse~~ injury of the ~~ankle during long periods of running~~ and ~~or walking.

Careful examination can help the clinician to distinguish whether the inflammation is posterior to the Achilles tendon~~ (~~within the subcutaneous calcaneal bursa~~) ~~or anterior~~ to the ~~tendon (within~~ the ~~subtendinous calcaneal bursa)~~. ~~Differentiating Achilles tendinitis/tendinosis from bursitis~~ may ~~be impossible. At times, the 2 conditions co-exist. Isolated subtendinous calcaneal bursitis is characterized by tenderness~~ that ~~is best isolated by palpating just anterior to~~ the ~~medial and lateral edges of the distal Achilles tendon. Conversely~~, ~~insertional Achilles tendinitis is notable for tenderness~~ that is located slightly more distally, where the Achilles tendon inserts on the posterior calcaneus. A patient with plantar fasciitis has tenderness along the posterior aspect of the sole, but he/she should not have ~~tenderness with palpation of~~ the ~~posterior~~ heel ~~or ankle~~. ~~A patient with~~ a ~~complete avulsion or rupture of the Achilles tendon demonstrates~~ a ~~palpable defect in the tendon, weakness in plantarflexion, and a positive Thompson test on physical examination~~. ~~During~~ the ~~Thompson test, the examiner squeezes the calf~~. ~~The test is negative~~ if ~~this maneuver results in passive plantarflexion of the ankle, which would indicate that the Achilles tendon is at least partially intact.<br><br>Non Surgical Treatment<br>The following exercises~~ are ~~commonly prescribed~~ to ~~patients with retrocalcaneal bursitis~~.

Your physiotherapist can advise when it is appropriate~~ to ~~begin~~ the ~~initial exercises~~ and ~~eventually progress to the intermediate~~, ~~advanced and other exercises. As a general rule, addition of exercises or progression to more advanced exercises should take place provided there is no increase in symptoms. Move~~ your ~~foot and~~ ankle up and ~~down as far as~~ you can ~~go without pain and provided you feel no more than a mild~~ to ~~moderate stretch~~. ~~Repeat 10, 20 times provided there~~ is ~~no increase in symptoms~~. ~~Move~~ your ~~foot and~~ ankle in and ~~out as far as~~ you ~~can~~ go ~~without pain and provided you feel no more than a mild~~ to ~~moderate stretch~~. ~~Repeat 10, 20 times provided there is no~~ increase ~~in symptoms~~. ~~Move your foot and ankle in a circle as large as you can go without pain and provided you feel no more than a mild~~ to ~~moderate~~ stretch~~. Repeat 10, 20 times in both clockwise~~ and ~~anticlockwise directions provided there is no~~ increase ~~in symptoms~~. ~~Calf Stretch with Towel~~. ~~Begin this~~ stretch ~~in long sitting with~~ your ~~leg to~~ be ~~stretched in front~~ of you~~. Your knee and back should be straight and a towel or rigid band placed around~~ your foot ~~as demonstrated~~. ~~Using your foot, ankle and the towel, bring your toes towards your head as far as you can go without pain and provided~~ you feel ~~no more than a mild to moderate stretch in the back of your calf, Achilles tendon or leg.

Apart from taking regular breaks, try varying your movements so~~ that ~~you are using different parts~~ of ~~your body~~. ~~Warm up before exercise. Before any type of vigorous exercise~~ you ~~should warm up for at least 5~~ to ~~10 minutes. The warm up could include walking at a good speed~~, ~~slow jogging, or a cycling machine. Strong muscles add extra protection~~ to the area. ~~If you strengthen~~ the ~~muscles in the area where you had bursitis (~~after ~~you are better)~~, ~~especially~~ the ~~area around the joint, you will have extra protection from injury.

The heel is the first area to strike the ground during normal gait, which means it takes the brunt of the stress incurred during walking and running activities. Of course, this also means that the heel is highly prone to injury. One such injury is called heel bursitis.<br><br>Causes<br>The calcaneal bursa can become inflamed in patients with [http://Donellamenino.Soup.io/post/594504521/Hammer-Toes-Static-Correction heel spurs] or in patients with poor-fitting shoes (eg, high heels). Inflammation can occur secondarily from Achilles tendinitis, especially in young athletes. Patients exhibit tenderness to palpation of the bursa anterior to the Achilles tendon on both the medial and lateral aspects. They have pain with movement, which is worsened with dorsiflexion.<br><br>Symptoms<br>When the bursa becomes inflamed after an injury, symptoms usually develop suddenly. When the bursa develops without an injury, symptoms may develop gradually. With both posterior and anterior Achilles tendon bursitis, symptoms usually include swelling and warmth at the back of the heel. A minimally red, swollen, tender spot develops on the back of the heel. When the inflamed bursa enlarges, it appears as a red lump under the skin of the heel and causes pain at and above the heel. If posterior Achilles tendon bursitis becomes chronic, the swelling may become hard, fluid-filled, and red or flesh-colored.<br><br>Diagnosis<br>Your GP or therapist will be able to diagnose you by both listening to your history and examining you. No X-rays or further investigation should be needed to confirm diagnosis but may be requested to check for any underlying health conditions that may have triggered the bursitis.<br><br>Non Surgical Treatment<br>Caregivers may give you special shoe inserts with a cutout around the tender area. You may also be told to wear shoes with a reinforced heel counter. This will give better heel control. You may need other shoe inserts (wedges) to raise your heel so it does not press against the back of the shoe. You may also wear shoes that are open in the back, such as sandals that have no strap across the heel. You may use ibuprofen (eye-bu-PROH-fen) and acetaminophen (a-seet-a-MIN-oh-fen) medicine for your pain. These may be bought over-the-counter at drug or grocery stores. Do not take ibuprofen if you are allergic to aspirin. You may be given shots of medicine called steroids (STER-oids) to decrease inflammation. Caregivers may add local anesthesia (an-es-THEE-zah) to the steroids. This medicine helps decrease bursitis pain. Because these shots decrease swelling and pain, you may feel like your ankle is healed and that you can return to heavy exercise. It is important to not exercise until your caregiver says it is OK. You could make the bursitis worse if you exercise too soon. You may need surgery to remove the bursa or part of your ankle bone. Surgery is usually not necessary unless the bursitis is very bad and does not heal with other treatments. Your caregiver may want you to go to physical (FIZ-i-kal) therapy (THER-ah-pee). Physical therapists may use ultrasound to increase blood flow to the injured area. Caregivers may use massage to stretch the tissue and bring heat to the injury to increase blood flow. These and other treatments may help the bursitis heal faster. Exercises to stretch your Achilles tendon and make it stronger will be started after the bursitis has healed. You may gradually increase the amount of weight you put on your foot when caregivers say it is OK. You may be told to stop exercising if you feel any pain.<br><br>Prevention<br>You can help to prevent heel pain and bursitis by maintaining a healthy weight, by warming up before participating in sports and by wearing shoes that support the arch of the foot and cushion the heel. If you are prone to plantar fasciitis, exercises that stretch the Achilles tendon (heel cord) and plantar fascia may help to prevent the area from being injured again. You also can massage the soles of your feet with ice after stressful athletic activities. Sometimes, the only interventions needed are a brief period of rest and new walking or running shoes.

The type of shoes you usually wear, how well they fit, and how frequently you buy a new pair.<br><br>Non Surgical Treatment<br>In some cases, physicians may recommend drugs or medications like NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflamatory drugs) to manage pain and inflammation. Alternative medications like cortisone injections are NOT advised for any type of Achilles Tendon injury or condition. This is because there is an increased risk of rupture of the tendon following a cortisone injection. Medical evidence shows that cortisone shots can damage the surrounding tissue, fray the Achilles tendon, and even trigger a rupture. Most side effects are temporary, but skin weakening (atrophy) and lightening of the skin (depigmentation) can be permanent.<br><br>Surgical Treatment<br>Surgery to remove the damaged bursa may be performed in extreme cases. If the bursitis is caused by an infection, then additional treatment is needed. Septic bursitis is caused by the presence of a pus-forming organism, usually staphylococcus aureus. This is confirmed by examining a sample of the fluid in the bursa and requires treatment with antibiotics taken by mouth, injected into a muscle or into a vein (intravenously). The bursa will also need to be drained by needle two or three times over the first week of treatment. When a patient has such a serious infection, there may be underlying causes. There could be undiscovered diabetes, or an inefficient immune system caused by human immunodeficiency virus infection (HIV).
