Tendonitis in the leg may cause pain, soreness, and limited mobility. When leg tendonitis occurs, it is important to get plenty of rest. Avoid using the affected joint, especially refrain from further stressing or injuring the joint. Applying ice packs can help, but be careful not to press too hard to avoid increasing pain. Additionally, elevating the foot to a higher position can promote blood circulation and help reduce discomfort.
