Tendon pain above the heel can be related to trauma, Achilles tendonitis, long-term strain, and nerve compression in the spinal canal.
Trauma causing Achilles tendon ligament, fascia strain or Achilles tendon tear may appear above the heel tendon pain.
Aseptic inflammation of the Achilles tendon caused by prolonged overstressing of the Achilles tendon is likely to cause pain in the upper tendon of the heel, and may be accompanied by symptoms such as limited mobility and muscle tightness.
Achilles tendon pain can also occur when the Achilles tendon is strained due to prolonged heavy physical activity or strenuous exercise.
Compression of the nerves in the spinal canal causes the nerves in the lower limbs to be affected, causing heel pain.
When symptoms occur, it is important to take proper rest, avoid strenuous activities, and seek timely medical attention for MRI, X-ray and other auxiliary examinations.
