Have you used a fluoroquinolone antibiotic recently? (Cipro, Levaquin or Avelox)
These may interfere with tendons and cause a tendon rupture, and this can happen months or a few years after you stopped the drug.
I have pain in my left ankle, but it is where the nerve branches
off the peroneal nerve in your diagram.
You can go to a good podiatrist and get evaluated there.
There can be spurs in the foot, or compressions of nerves that
foot doctors are quite familiar with. You can also have gout, or pseudogout in the heel area. Tendonitis also occurs in the heel.
