What is Peroneal Tendonitis?
Peroneal tendonitis refers to inflammation or irritation of the peroneal tendons, which are located on the outside of the ankle. These tendons are responsible for stabilizing the foot and ankle, helping with balance and movement. When subjected to overuse, repetitive motions, or traumatic injury, the peroneal tendons can become inflamed, leading to pain and discomfort.
Common symptoms of peroneal tendonitis may include:
- Pain or tenderness along the outside of the ankle and foot
- Swelling and redness
- Difficulty walking or running
- Ankle instability
- Clicking or snapping sensations
While peroneal tendonitis can be a challenging condition to endure, seeking professional podiatric care is essential for effective treatment and a successful recovery.
