    Dear All,

    I'm new to the forum so apologies for any protocol ignorance.

    I'm an ultrasonographer who recently examined a 44 year old keen runner who presented with heel/retrocalcaneal pain which was worse first thing in the morning.

    On ultrasound she appears to have some calcific bodies at the insertion of the Achilles on the calcaneus. This is where she reports the greatest pain. I don't see any shadowing from this objects but they are hyperechoic. Can anyone relate these views to similar cases?

    Thanks in advance.
