So I went to the gym for a month this past June and developed this pain at the back of my heel which used to persistent but now it still hasn't vanished and it not regular. It's comes and goes at times. It could be something related to back and posture. It is there sometimes on walking up in the morning and goes away after a while. Also the I feel mild pain when I press the back of my heel. I google a lot abt it could be achilles tendonitis. What do you think? How can I know for sure what it is? Could be a fracture? P.s in the gym I used to do cardio everyday treadmill cycling and crosswalk .is it bcz of that or lifting weights? Some clarity would help a lot.

You may have developed retro-calcaneal bursitis. Achilles tendonitis is not usually related to exertion or exercise. Give proper rest to the heel, and use soft footwear to avoid any pressure on back of heel. Analgesic like Naprosyn may be taken for a couple of weeks. If still not enough relief, then get examined by a Rheumatologist.

If you have pain in both the TA (Tendo Achilles) then it is due to the ligament injury or probably any neglected injury of the past, either a cut injury or being trapped in a cycle while sitting behind. Just rule out the cause and the best treatment would be to keep ice in a tub (extremely cold) and automatically it will heal. Also wear MCR chappals to reduce the pain.
