\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Peroneal tendonitis occurs when the tendons become inflamed behind the fibula bone by the joint of the ankle. The fibula is the bump that is on the outside of the ankle. The peroneal tendon is right behind the bony joint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peroneal tendonitis occurs when there is an injury is acute or stress on the ankle. The peroneal tendon helps a person walk. If there is an injury, there will be small tears in the peroneal tendon. People who have high arches are known to have peroneal tendonitis. Peroneal tendonitis causes the foot and ankle to roll inward because of overuse from physical activities like sports and running. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When running, runners tend to wear bad shoes that are worn out at the heel. An impact that causes a person to fall on their feet can cause peroneal tendonitis. A lot of the times when people fall, their feet hit the ground incorrectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Snapping and popping are common signs of peroneal tendonitis.
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This means that whenever the person walks, he or she will hear a popping or snapping sound. It will be painful to walk and do any activity. The pain will be noticeable on the outside of the ankle. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to stretch thoroughly after exercising. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A healthcare provider can show the injured person the proper way to stretch to help the peroneal tendon to heal. Strength exercises are helpful as well by using an exercise <\/a>stretch band. Even before any stretching is involved, the healthcare provider may suggest wearing a special boot to help when walking and in healing the ankle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a good idea to stop doing any physical activities until the peroneal tendonitis goes away. By continuing to overuse the ankle, it will make the condition of peroneal tendonitis worse and delay the healing process.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

2. Pain when engaging inactivity is a sign of peroneal tendonitis because the person is continuing to do damage to their ankle.
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When people have peroneal tendonitis<\/a>, such as runners and athletes they tend to work around their pain. They will ignore the pain that they\u2019re having and cause the peroneal tendonitis to continue to tear. When peroneal tendonitis occurs, it can happen all of a sudden or slowly. Most likely it will be a slow process if the person is continuing to run or play on the injury. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot of the times when a person is suffering from an injury like peroneal tendonitis, they will take an over-the-counter medication like Ibuprofen or ice their ankle down. This may help with the pain for a bit, but whenever the person starts running or playing their activity again, he or she will feel the pain. Sometimes the pain isn\u2019t felt when the body is at rest.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

3. Swelling on a lower leg or ankle is another sign to look out for when a person thinks she or he has peroneal tendonitis.
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pain may be felt when swelling <\/a>is present. The swelling will not go away on its own, especially if the injury is still being worked on, such as running. Swelling can be alleviated by propping the feet up and doing ice massages every day for at least five minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if the swelling goes away, it\u2019s not a good idea to work on the ankle until the doctor gives the person the okay to go back to doing any physical activity. Even standing on the job can cause swelling to persist. The longer a person is on their feet, the swelling and pain will be there. The swelling and pain may go away in a few weeks to several months depending on how damaged the peroneal tendonitis has become.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

4. Warm to touch is a common sign when a person has peroneal tendonitis because of the swelling and inflammation of the ankle.
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Usually when the ankle is warm to touch there is an injury <\/a>is present. In order to help alleviate the warmness, a doctor may suggest engaging in low-impact activities, such as walking. Cold and hot packs may both be used in treating warm joints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With peroneal tendonitis, when the ankle is warm to touch, he or she may think that the reason for the warmness is because of all the hard work that they are doing, such as running fast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the ankle becomes too uncomfortable, it may cause the person to be unable to walk. Once warmness is felt, it\u2019s best to seek medical attention right away so that the peroneal tendonitis doesn\u2019t get worse than it already is. The longer a person waits to seek treatment, the longer they will have to wait to go back to doing their physical activity.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

5. Inability to bear weight on the ankle is a sign to look out for in peroneal tendonitis.
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This can cause a person to be able to not just run, but the inability to walk. In order to get around, a person will need to use crutches <\/a>until he or she is able to walk on the pain. Even a person still forces him or herself to engage in physical activity with peroneal tendonitis, it will cause the person to go much slower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With peroneal tendonitis, it can happen suddenly and if this is the case, a runner may be running uphill and all of a sudden unable to go any further because the pain is too much to bear. This could happen because the peroneal tendon itself is so damaged that it resulted in it in becoming tendonitis. The peroneal tendon continued to tear and caused the person to be unable to bear weight on the ankle any longer.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

6. Pain when turning the feet in and out is a common sign for peroneal tendonitis.
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ballet dancers are known for turning their feet in and out when dancing. They have to jump and turn their feet in certain positions when dancing. Some dancers dance through their pain, but over time, they\u2019re unable to dance anymore because their peroneal tendon is so damaged. Landing improperly can because peroneal tendonitis. It\u2019s important that they incorporate stretching <\/a>and strengthening exercises to prevent tendonitis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Athletes who do a lot of jumping can land incorrectly as well. When playing basketball, for instance, they are not concerned about how they\u2019re landing. It\u2019s all about winning the game. When the feet are turned in and out, the pain will be felt. It can cost the person to lose games because he or she playing with a lot of pain. As long as the feet are kept at a correct position, no pain may be felt, but it may look awkward.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

7. Back ankle pain is common in peroneal tendonitis because that\u2019s where the peroneal tendon is located.
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The peroneal tendon causes pain if the tendon has torn so much that it is causing pain. By icing, the back of the ankle may help short-term, but it may be in a way that it needs medical attention. Athletes <\/a>and runners who work through their pain may not look in the pain too much because it may have occurred before and it went away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time, the pain in the back of the ankle may be so bad that every time they bear on it, it causes them to be in excruciating pain. By them continuing to bear weight on the ankle, the peroneal tendonitis has set in completely. In order to heal it, they will need to stop any physical activity immediately. If not, they may not be able to walk.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

8. Tenderness is another common sign of peroneal tendonitis to look out for because it can occur whenever the peroneal tendon is touched or walked on. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A person who isn\u2019t physically active may suffer more tenderness <\/a>than someone who can handle pain when it comes to peroneal tendonitis. Whenever the person\u2019s ankle touches the ground, he or she will be in pain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crutches may be the only way for the person to get any relief until the tenderness goes away. It can prevent a person from going anywhere without the crutches because even pressure put on the peroneal tendon can cause some tenderness. Even touching the injury can cause tenderness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s how bad the injury has become. A doctor may suggest physical therapy to help the person walk again. A lot of times physical therapy is the last option for people since self-care remedies can be done to heal peroneal tendonitis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
