Location and Geography. Hungary is a landlocked country in central Europe. Covering an area of 35,934 square miles (93,030 square kilometers), the country is in the Carpathian Basin, surrounded by the Carpathian Mountains, the Alps, and the Dinaric Alps. The Danube River divides Hungary and bisects the capital, Budapest.
Achilles tendinopathy. Achilles tendinopathy starts with repeated small tears in the tendon. These tears may cause no obvious symptoms. Or they may cause mild to severe pain during movement. As the tearing continues, the leg may weaken and the tendon pain may become constant. Abnormal growths (nodules) may form in the tendon, and it may thicken.
Inflammation or degeneration of the Achilles tendon commonly causes calf muscle pain. The Achilles tendon is approximately six inches long, connecting the calf muscles to the heel. The Achilles is extremely strong but not very flexible, making it prone to damage, especially if the calf muscles are weak and tight.
