Your feet are going to carry you for probably your entire life. You need to make sure that you take care of them the best that you can. You may be starting ankle tendonitis if you start to feel pain or either swelling in the ankle area.

Let us discuss how to prevent ankle tendinitis and also a bit of background information on tendonitis itself.

If you are performing rigorous training each day, you may show signs of tendonitis in your ankles, if you are not careful.

What is tendonitis? It is really just an inflammation of the tendon. The tendon is used to connect the bone to the actual muscle. What happens sometimes if the tendon gets overworked or you may put too much force on a particular tendon you could develop tendonitis.

Some symptoms of tendonitis are swelling, pain and the area that is swollen is tender to the touch. It could be difficult to move the ankle without a shooting pain going from the ankle to the calf.

There is another similar tendonitis which is called Achilles tendonitis. This is the inflammation of the Achilles tendon and this is very common form of ankle tendonitis. These two types of tendonitis occur in runners and people on there feet a lot.

A way to treat Ankle Tendonitis

The home remedy for tendonitis is the care. If you are experiencing a mild case of ankle tendonitis, ice packs will work great. Use the ice in 15 minute intervals. If you need to be on your feet, you can wrap the ankle for support and this will prevent further injury.

Cortisone injections sometimes work well for tendonitis. But using them when you have ankle tendonitis is somewhat scary thing to do. The ankle tendon can rupture easy if used improperly, so doctor's try to avoid them if possible. You can try to put a cushion in your shoe, this will help support the foot and can help with the pain if you need to be on your feet.

Everyone realizes that your feet are a vital part of your body. If you can, you want to keep them injury free and that includes ankle tendonitis or you could have permanent injury.

If you start to feel pain or swelling in your ankle and you have had ankle tendonitis in the past, you need to try and not over do it. One thing that you may want to do is to talk to a physical therapist or even an orthopedic doctor to learn how to not injure or learn to maneuver your feet during physical activity. This will help prevent further damage. If you can, get off your feet and give them a chance to rest.
