Achilles Tendinitis
Q. Why does Achilles tendinitis need to be seen early?
A.
The Achilles tendon has a limited blood supply, so inflammation there can worsen in a short time, and leaving it can lead on to a rupture.
📝 Detailed Answer
The Achilles tendon is one of the parts of the body where the blood supply is not plentiful. Inflammation there is therefore liable to worsen in a short time.
As time passes, the inflammation accelerates damage to the tendon and brings degenerative change forward. Because this becomes the cause of an Achilles tendon rupture, it is better not to put up with the pain and let it pass.
