Can A Tendon Cause A Sore Spot On My Legs?
On the bottom of my foot (up on the ball) there is a very sore spot, I was wondering if it could be a tendon acting up? I had a massage yesterday and when they massaged that area she said it was a angry muscle. And that I had a lot of scar tissue there.

hi,
thank-you for providing the brief history.
As the tendon can not go into such state of physiological changes. You might have something else and for which a thorough clinical examination is advised.
As tendons are a hard tissue and happening of the swelling and inflammation is rare. It could be related to the fascia inflammation and needs a thorough understanding.
