Overview Achilles bursitis is one of those injuries that can really bring down the quality of your life. Anyone, young or old, can suffer from this injury, and if you're active this condition will keep you from doing the things you love to do. It will even start interrupting any of your normal daily tasks and make living life harder than it really needs to be. Fortunately for you, professional athletes have had access to state of the art treatment therapies for years that allow them to heal more quickly and completely than you or I. This is why athletes that have a serious heel bursitis injury can often get back in the game in a matter of weeks while you could suffer for months or even years (in chronic cases). Causes If the posterior-superior portion of the heel has an abnormally large bony prominence protruding from it (called a Haglund's Deformity), in some instances it may rub against the Achilles Tendon. When this occurs, the bursa between the bone and the tendon will become inflamed, swollen, and painful. This condition is called Retrocalcaneal Bursitis. The presence of a Haglund's Deformity does not insure that these problems will occur. In order for these problems to occur, the heel and foot must be tilted in such a way as to actually force this bony prominence into the bursa and tendon. Symptoms Pain and tenderness are common symptoms. If the affected joint is close to the skin, as with the shoulder, knee, elbow, or Achilles tendon, swelling and redness are seen and the area may feel warm to the touch. The bursae around the hip joint are deeper, and swelling is not obvious. Movement may be limited and is painful. In the shoulder, it may be difficult to raise the arm out from the side of the body. Putting on a jacket or combing the hair becomes a troublesome activity. In acute bursitis symptoms appear suddenly, with chronic bursitis, pain, good cruising shoes tenderness, and limited movement reappear after exercise or strain. Diagnosis Like all other forms of bursitis, initially the physician will take down the history of symptoms experienced by the patient, this will be followed by a detailed physical examination which involves checking for inflammation signs like pain, redness, and warmth of the heel area. The physician might examine further by moving the ankle a little to determine the exact location of pain. Further diagnostic tests including x-ray, bone scans, and MRI scan might be suggested if required. Non Surgical Treatment Most bursitis cases can be treated by the patient without having to see a doctor. A trip to a pharmacy, a conversation with the pharmacist, and some self-care techniques are usually enough. The NHS (National Health Service, UK) recommends PRICEM, a self-care management approach. PRICEM stands for Protection. Rest. Ice. Compression. Elevation. Medication. Protect the affected area, Some people place padding to protect the affected bursae from any blow. Rest. Do not exercise or use the joints in the affected area unless you really have to. Let it rest. Bursitis is a condition that responds well to rest. Ice packs. Ice packs can help reduce pain and inflammation. Make sure you do not place the ice directly on the skin, use a pack or towel. A small pack of frozen vegetables are ideal. Raise the affected area. If you can, lift the affected area, raise it, less blood will gather there. This may help reduce the inflammation. Painkillers. Ibuprofen is an effective painkiller for treating pain, it also reduces inflammation. Steroids. For more severe symptoms the doctor may inject steroids into the affected area. Steroids block a body chemical called prostaglandin. Prostaglandin causes inflammation. Steroids may raise the patient's blood pressure if used for too long, as well as increasing his/her risk of getting an infection. UK doctors are advised not to give more than three steroid injections in one year. Antibiotics. If the fluid test confirms that there is a bacterial infection, the doctor will probably prescribe antibiotics. These will be administered orally (via mouth). Surgical Treatment Surgery is rarely need to treat most of these conditions. A patient with a soft tissue rheumatic syndrome may need surgery, however, if problems persist and other treatment methods do not help symptoms.

−	Overview<br>~~Retrocalcaneal bursitis~~ is ~~a painful inflammation of the soft tissues~~ at the ~~attachment of~~ the Achilles tendon to the ~~back of the heel bone~~. The ~~retrocalcaneus identifies~~ the ~~?retro? or behind and ?calcaneus? or heel bone. Bursitis relates to inflammation~~ of ~~a bursa in~~ the ~~retrocalcaneal region~~. A bursa ~~anatomically is a fluid filled sack that is located around tendinous attachments in the body~~. ~~The retrocalcaneal~~ bursa ~~as identified in the photo 1 protects the Achilles tendon just prior to its insertion to~~ the ~~retrocalcaneal region. The~~ retrocalcaneal bursa ~~cushions~~ the Achilles tendon ~~and normally allows pain free motion of~~ the Achilles tendon ~~over~~ the calcaneus.~~<br><br>Causes<br>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. [http://avis5dotson3.snack.ws/contracted-toe-~~pain~~.html Heel Spurs]~~.<br><br>~~Symptoms~~<br>~~Symptoms~~ of ~~bursitis usually occur after rest and relaxation. Upon activity there~~ is ~~usually more intense pain in~~ the ~~area~~ of the bursa~~. The common areas to have~~ a ~~bursitis~~ in the ~~foot are in the bottom~~ of the ~~heel, behind~~ the ~~heel near the attachment~~ of ~~the~~ Achilles ~~Tendon as well as along~~ the ~~side of a bunion. A bursa may also form in multiple areas especially along the metatarsal heads~~, ~~or "ball" of your foot. You may actually feel~~ the ~~sac like fluid when rubbing the area~~ of ~~pain.<br><br>Diagnosis<br>Diagnosis is first by clinical suspicion of symptoms. This~~ can ~~be mistaken for gout or infection especially in~~ the ~~big toe region~~. ~~A diagnosis~~ of ~~bursitis is usually used in combination of the underlying cause~~, ~~for instance a bunion deformity~~, ~~Haglund's deformity~~, ~~or Heel Spur Syndrome. Many times the~~ cause ~~needs~~ to ~~be addressed~~ to ~~rid~~ the ~~problem~~ of bursitis.<br><br>~~Non Surgical Treatment~~<br>~~Surgery should always be~~ the last option. We believe that biologic treatments that preserve normal anatomy are very helpful, particularly for runner, athletes, and active professionals with buy schedules. All non-surgical approaches attempt to calm down the inflammation of the bursa and Achilles tendon~~. They do not address the bony bump, but they can substantially reduce and shrink the inflamed soft tissue. Some non-surgical treatments include Oral Anti-inflammatory Medications. NSAID's~~ (~~non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications) such as Motrin, Aleve,~~ and ~~Steroids (like prednisone~~) ~~may help control the pain~~ and ~~stop~~ the ~~inflammation. Topical Anti-inflammatory Medications. NSAID's in cream or lotion form may be applied directly to~~ the ~~inflamed area. With these, there is no concern for stomach upset or other problems associated with oral medication. Ice. Ice can applied be applied right to~~ the ~~red, inflamed area and help calm it down~~. ~~Try applying a podiatrist-approved ice pack~~ to the ~~affected area for 20 minutes~~ of ~~each hour. Just make sure you don't put ice directly against the skin. Exercises. Stretching exercises may relieve some of the tension in~~ the Achilles tendon ~~that started~~ the ~~problem. If you have Equinus Deformity (or a tight heel cord) this~~ is ~~critical~~ to ~~prevent it from coming back again. Heel lifts. Heel lifts placed inside~~ the ~~shoe can decrease~~ the ~~pressure on the Achilles tendon~~. ~~Remember, pressure~~ and ~~friction cause~~ the ~~bump to become inflamed~~. ~~Heel pads. Placing gel padding to cushion~~ the ~~Achilles tendon (at~~ the back of the heel~~) can also help reduce irritation from shoes~~. Shoe modification. Wearing open-backed shoes, or shoes that have soft backs. This will also help stop the irritation. Physical therapy. Physical therapy, such as ultrasound, massage and stretching can all reduce the inflammation ~~without surgery. Orthotic devices. Custom arch supports known as foot orthotics control abnormal motion in~~ the ~~foot that can allow~~ the heel ~~to tilt over and rub against the heel counter~~. ~~Orthotics can decrease symptoms~~ and ~~help prevent it from happening again~~. ~~Immobilization. In some cases, a walking cast boot~~ or ~~plaster/fiberglass cast is necessary to take pressure off~~ the bursa ~~and tendon, while allowing the area to calm down~~. ~~ESWT~~. ~~Extra~~-~~corporeal Shock Wave Therapy uses high energy sound waves to break up diseased tissue in~~ the ~~bursa and Achilles tendon and stimulate your own bodies healing processes~~ to ~~repair the diseased area~~. ~~It may be done in the office or in a an outpatient surgery center~~. ~~There is no incision and no stitches with ESWT~~. ~~PRP. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a therapeutic injection. A small sample of blood is drawn from the patient~~ and ~~the healing factors found in the platelets are concentrated in a centrifuge~~. ~~By injecting the concentrated solution right~~ into the ~~damaged Achilles tendon, a powerful healing can be stimulated~~. ~~This can be done in the office. No hospital or surgery required~~.<br><br>Surgical Treatment<br>Surgery~~. Though rare, particularly challenging cases~~ of ~~retrocalcaneal~~ bursitis ~~might warrant a bursectomy, in which the troublesome bursa~~ is ~~removed from~~ the ~~back of the ankle. Surgery can be effective~~, ~~but operating on~~ this ~~boney area can cause complications, such as trouble with skin healing at the incision site~~. ~~In addition to removing the bursa, a doctor may use the~~ surgery ~~to treat another condition associated with the retrocalcaneal bursitis. For example~~, a ~~surgeon~~ may ~~remove a sliver of bone from the back of the heel to alter foot mechanics~~ and ~~reduce future friction. Any bone spurs located where the Achilles attaches to the heel may also be~~ removed. Regardless of the conservative treatment that is provided, it is important to wait until all pain and swelling around the back of the heel is gone before resuming activities. This may take several weeks. Once symptoms are gone, a patient may make a gradual return to his or her activity level before their bursitis symptoms began. Returning to activities that cause friction or stress on the bursa before it is healed will likely cause bursitis symptoms to flare up again.	+	Overview<br>Pain at the posterior heel or posterior ankle is most commonly caused by pathology at the posterior calcaneus, the Achilles (calcaneal) tendon, or the associated bursae. The following bursae are located just superior to the insertion of the Achilles tendon. Subtendinous calcaneal bursa. This bursa (also called the retrocalcaneal bursa), situated anterior (deep) to the Achilles tendon, is located between the Achilles tendon and the calcaneus. Subcutaneous calcaneal bursa. Also called the Achilles bursa, it is found posterior (superficial) to the Achilles tendon, lying between the skin and the posterior aspect of the distal Achilles tendon. Inflammation of one or both of these bursae can cause pain in the posterior heel and ankle regions.<br><br>Causes<br>Bursitis of the Achilles tendon is caused by the irritation and inflammation of the retrocalcaneal bursa, a small fluid-filled sac located in the back of the ankle that acts as a cushion and lubricant for the ankle joint. Possible causes of Achilles tendon bursitis include aging, Factors related to the aging process, including the onset of rheumatoid arthritis and gout, can deteriorate the bursa. Overuse of ankle. Excessive walking, uphill running, jumping, and other aggressive exercise regimens, especially without proper conditioning, can cause irritation to the bursa. Trauma. Sudden injury to the ankle joint, or trauma caused by rigid or improperly fitted shoes, can increase the chances of developing bursitis.<br><br>Symptoms<br>Pain when activating the Achilles tendon (running and jumping) and when applying pressure at the point of attachment of the tendon on the heel bone. Contrary to the tenderness occurring with inflammation of the Achilles tendon, the tenderness is localised to the point of attachment to the heel bone.<br><br>Diagnosis<br>Diagnosis of heel bursitis can be made by your health practitioner and is based on the following. Assessing the location of the pain by palpating the back of the heel. Assessment of any inflammation at the back of the heel. Assessment of biomechanics and foot function. Ultrasound or MRI can reveal inflammation of the retro calcaneal bursa.<br><br>Non Surgical Treatment<br>Treatments include avoiding painful activities. Over-the-counter pain medications to control inflammation. Icepacks. Ultrasound treatment to reduce inflammation. Physical therapy to improve strength and flexibility. If other treatments don?t work, your doctor may inject steroids into the area. Surgery is rarely needed.<br><br>Surgical Treatment<br>Surgery is rarely done strictly for treatment of a bursitis. If any underlying cause is the reason, this may be addressed surgically. During surgery for other conditions, a bursa may be seen and removed surgically.

This will also help stop the irritation. Physical therapy. Physical therapy, such as ultrasound, massage and stretching can all reduce the inflammation without surgery. Orthotic devices. Custom arch supports known as foot orthotics control abnormal motion in the foot that can allow the heel to tilt over and rub against the heel counter. Orthotics can decrease symptoms and help prevent it from happening again. Immobilization. In some cases, a walking cast boot or plaster/fiberglass cast is necessary to take pressure off the bursa and tendon, while allowing the area to calm down. ESWT. Extra-corporeal Shock Wave Therapy uses high energy sound waves to break up diseased tissue in the bursa and Achilles tendon and stimulate your own bodies healing processes to repair the diseased area. It may be done in the office or in a an outpatient surgery center. There is no incision and no stitches with ESWT. PRP. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a therapeutic injection. A small sample of blood is drawn from the patient and the healing factors found in the platelets are concentrated in a centrifuge. By injecting the concentrated solution right into the damaged Achilles tendon, a powerful healing can be stimulated. This can be done in the office. No hospital or surgery required.<br><br>Prevention<br>Once your pain and inflammation is gone, you can prevent retrocalcaneal bursitis deformity by wearing the best shoes for your foot type.
