Posterior Tibial Tendonitis (PT) is a common condition that affects the tendon that connects the calf muscle to the shinbone. PT can cause pain and swelling in the tendon, and can be a serious problem if not treated.
There are a few things you can do to help relieve PT pain and swelling. First, make sure you take the time to properly stretch your calf and shin muscles. Second, use a supportive shoe to help cushion the tendon. Third, see a doctor if the pain and swelling continue to get worse.
