Muscle Tightness
Along with swelling and pain, people with Achilles tendinitis would feel tightness in their muscles. This symptom would occur in both the calf and heel area. It occurs when inflammation affects your Achilles tendon. The symptom can be felt more clearly after an extended period of rest or after waking up in the morning. You can stretch or warm up the leg and ankle to alleviate the problem. [4]
