By day 5, he is sore over the posterior aspect of his ankle when he pushes off. What could it be: achilles tendinitis, paratenonitis, bursitis. Symptoms: pain and/crepitation, red and hot over structure, usually precipitated by movement around ankle. Diagnosis made on the basis of local swelling: swelling, sttt (arom prom resisted) Tell him he"s doing too much to fast here"s what you can do . Walk up the stairs, eat good, exercise in smaller doses. Tell them what they can do not just what they cant: police, address training issues, gradual return to activity. Tendons are mechanically responsible for transmitting muscle forces to bone and in doing so permit locomotion and enhance joint stability. Tendon has no synovial sheath but is surrounded by paratenon.
