4. Pain in the Achilles Tendon
For anyone who doesn’t know this, the Achilles tendon is the tendon that holds the heel – located right at the back of the foot. Feel it and tug at it: This is one of the most important tendons in the body, and it’s the one that is most likely to get injured from repetitive strain, spraining or walking-related injuries.
Once you’re done with a hard day’s work, then pain in the Achilles tendon (and additionally, heel and foot) are some of the most common symptoms that you are going to experience. If the pain is regular and goes together with some of the other symptoms that are mentioned on this list, then it’s even more likely that you might be looking at TSS as a potential cause.
A sign of chronic pain in the Achilles tendon is almost always a serious sign of something else: These conditions (including TSS but not limited to it) have the potential to cause permanent injury to the tendon, which can impair walking for the rest of your life. See your doctor as soon as possible for any pain: It could save your mobility.
