Retrocalcaneal Bursitis
Retrocalcaneal bursitis is inflammation of the synovial bursa located between the Achilles tendon and the heel bone, a small structure that cushions the rubbing in that area.
Usual symptoms: Pain and swelling in the back part of the heel, discomfort when walking or wearing certain shoes, and tenderness when pressing the region.
What usually favors it: Repetitive physical activity, footwear that rubs the heel, and overload of the area.
Who treats it? A physical therapist supports the recovery and the relief of the overload; a rheumatologist or a sports medicine physician can assess the cause depending on the case. If the heel pain persists or limits your activity, having it reviewed by a professional is the best option.
