Retrocalcaneal Bursitis

If you are a runner, hiker or walker you are a member of a select group of outdoor athletes that may develop retrocalcaneal bursitis.

Bursitis refers to the inflammation of the Bursa. A Bursa helps lubricate and cushion muscles and tendons that move across bones in your body.

The retrocalcaneal bursa is located where your achillies tendon connects your calf muscle to your heel bone.
