I think I have achilles and peroneal tendonitis. I started noticing that it was difficulty to bend my ankle up because of pain and tightness in my Achilles tendon. But then I started having pain on the outside of my lower leg where the peroneals are. I'm noticing that I can't bend my ankle as well as the other (when I'm squatting). Its always stiff after I sit for a long time or when waking up in the morning but it usually stretches out after a few steps or a quick 20sec stretch. I have been using heat and ice (both feel good), taking Aleve, resting, doing some stretches for the calves, and am breaking in new orthotics (only wearing 3 hours per day) for my pronated feet. What I was wondering was: (1) is it possible to have both achilles and peroneal tendonitis? (2) I was told to do eccentric heel raises - but won't this aggravate it? (3) is there anything else I'm missing for treatment?
Its not completely horrible so I don't want to go to a doctor yet.

i had this problem during bball season && the school trainer said it was my achilles, but i went to the docot n he said it was tendonitus. he said that i should buy these things to put in your shoes to give your foot more of an arch since thats usualy what causes it. && when i had it it would hurt in ine side of my ankle one day then somewere else the next. & u can get shin splints from it. but it will go away if you stop using if for a while.
