Brief Answer:
Can be tendonitis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Pain in the tendon without any history of injury could be due too inflammation of the muscles- achilles tendonitis.
To help the pain, ice the area immediately after getting up. You can use either a store-bought cold pack or a frozen wet towel. Ice for 10 or 15 minutes. To reduce inflammation, take an aspirin or ibuprofen at mealtime.
A 4-inch wide Ace bandage wrapped around the region also helps reduce discomfort.
Calf and anterior (front of) leg stretching and strengthening addresses the biomechanical problems and reduces pain.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
