Thrombosis of deep veins occurs when a blood clot is formed in a deep vein, usually in the feet.

DVT is dangerous because it can block blood flow into the lungs, causing a potentially life-threatening condition called lung embolism.

The Achilles tendon, the strongest tendon of the body, takes daily stress. Excessive use can cause Achilles tendons that can lead to swelling in ankles and heels, especially after exercise or physical activity. This condition can make movement difficult.
