I am interested in any medical information regarding the formation of calcification in my achillles tendon and the associated treatment. There is plenty of descriptions but few solutions on various web sites.

I have a large calcaneous bone spur located under my tendon on the back of my heal. Due to the same condition on my other foot I had a rupture of the associated tendon. To prevent another rupture the spur will be removed surgically on the other foot but has calcification in the tendon. My surgeon is researching what the best option will be but I am seeking any futher knowledge or past experience with similar circumstances. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
