| This is the second most common type of mechanically induced heel pain, caused by inflammation of the Achilles tendon and bursitis. |
| Common sites for bursitis include the pre-patellar bursa, the olecranon bursa, and the subacromial bursa. |
| Pain on the outside of the hip is often due to inflammation called trochanteric bursitis. |
| Periarticular disorders, such as anserine, infrapatellar or prepatellar bursitis, should be ruled out. |
| Although bursitis and tendinitis often improve with home treatment, a ruptured Achilles tendon usually requires surgical repair. |
| Don't do this exercise if you have active tendinitis or bursitis in your shoulders. |
