The most common symptoms of foot or ankle tendonitis are stiffness, swelling and localized pain. Generalized pain is often the first sign of foot or ankle tendonitis. The location of the pain depends on the type of Tendonitis. The following is a list of different types of tendonitis and the associated pain: Peroneal tendonitis — This typically manifests as pain along the outer edge of the heel. Achilles tendonitis — This causes heel and calf pain, usually felt when walking or running and can extend all the way up to the middle of the calf. Extensor tendonitis — This type of tendonitis causes pain on the top of the foot, a very rare type of ankle tendonitis. Anterior tibial tendonitis — Typically felt when walking down stairs or on sloped surfaces, this causes pain on the front of your foot. Posterior tibial tendonitis — Can contribute to flat foot, pain and inflammation on the inner portion of the ankle (under the protruding bone) is common.
