Patients will also experience pain while participating in activities, such as when running or jumping. Achilles tendonitis pain associated with exercise is most significant when pushing off or jumping. Symptoms of Retrocalcaneal Bursitis could include: Pain at the back of the heels especially when running uphill or on soft surfaces.
