Hi Achilles Tendinitis is chronic recurring disease caused by overuse . If you have problem after one year , go for the therapy + anti inflammatory pain killers . You may have to restrict dancing for few weeks. MRI helps in diagnosis and planning of surgical treatment , So i would recommend MRI only if I am contemplating a surgical procedure or confirm my diagnosis.
