	== Causes ==		== Causes ==
	The primary cause of Achilles bursitis is repetitive or prolonged pressure on the Achilles tendon. This can occur due to a variety of activities such as running, jumping, or walking for extended periods. Other factors that may contribute to the development of this condition include improper footwear, tight or weak calf muscles, and certain medical conditions such as [[rheumatoid arthritis]].

	The most common symptom of Achilles bursitis is pain at the back of the ankle, especially during physical activity. Other symptoms may include swelling, redness, and warmth in the affected area.
