Achilles tendinitis is similar in that it, too, refers to painful inflammation of a soft tissue of the foot—in this case the Achilles tendon at the back of the ankle.Plantar fasciitis is caused by overloading or putting too much tension on this shock absorbing plantar fascia of the foot. Achilles tendonitis is caused by putting repetitive or intense strain on the tendon.
