The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in the body. Insertional Achilles tendonitis is the degeneration of the Achilles tendon fibers where the tendon inserts into the heel bone. It may be associated with inflammation of a bursa or tendon sheath in the same area. Most patients report a gradual onset of pain and swelling at the back of the heel bone without a specific injury. At first, the pain may only be noticeable after activity, but it becomes more constant over time. The pain increases with jumping or running, especially with sports requiring short bursts of these activities.
