Safe relief of rest pain that eases with activity in achillodynia by intrabursal or peritendinous steroid injection: The rupture rate was not increased by these steroid injections

Abstract

A history of morning and rest pain that eases with activity was found to improve after anti-inflammatory injections around the paratenon or within the Achilles bursae. The reduction in pain morbidity was significant, and the peritendinous steroid injections did not increase the rupture rate.
