The main symptoms of Achilles tendonitis include pain, swelling, and limited mobility. Achilles tendonitis is primarily caused by prolonged walking, intense physical activities, or minor injuries. When symptoms are severe and do not improve after long-term conventional treatment, patients should immediately seek medical care at a hospital to prevent worsening of the condition.
