Indentation In Achilles Tendon, Above Heel. Had Plantar Fascitis And A Stress Fracture In Foot. Related ?
I have recently had plantar fascitis and a stress fracture in my foot . Now i have an indentation in my achilles tendon , above my heel. There is bruising and swelling in the area. Is this caused from plantar fascitis? What can i do to alleviate the pain? Do i need to wear the walking boot again? Also, in the past i have had knee surgeries on the same leg that is giving me problems

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The indentation in the achilles tendon is not likely to be related to plantar fasciitis or the stress fracture. It seems to be a fresh injury. A direct examination is needed for diagnosis.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
