Achilles tendinitis requires patients to reduce weight-bearing and stretching activities of the limbs, rest fully in bed, elevate the affected limbs, and initially apply cold and hot compresses to promote local blood circulation. If severe symptoms occur, it is recommended to go to the hospital for further examination and treatment. Tendinitis is a chronic, sterile inflammation of soft tissues caused by localized inflammation resulting from tendon injury.
