This is an overuse injury of the Achilles tendon, the band of tissue that connects calf muscles at the back of the lower leg to your heel bone. It is often seen in people who have suddenly increased the intensity or duration of their exercise routines. Treatment typically includes rest, ice, and over-the-counter pain relievers.

5. Corns and Calluses

Thickened layers of skin caused by repeated pressure or friction can lead to corns and calluses, most commonly on the toes and soles of the feet. These are usually painless but can become painful if they grow too thick. Using protective pads and wearing shoes that give your toes plenty of room can prevent them from forming.
