Question 1

would i be able to walk if i tore my achilles tendon? & does numbness occur when that happens?

Accepted Answer

Usually not: An Achilles tear is usually not compatible with walking normally.  Depending on the mechanic cause of the tear, the Achilles trauma can be associated with injuries to portions of the tibial nerve close by and cause disruption of these nerves (e.g. Calcaneal nerve) producing an area of numbness (in the example given, around the heel).  Other nerve injuries can exist as well.

Question 2

i started jogging about 3-4 km after some days achilles tendon hurts when i jogg so i stoped jogging starts walking 5-6 km nothing hurts while walking lit bit calf hurts sometimes.can overuse of calf muscle cause little bit numbness in feet?

Accepted Answer

: And describing quite well a problem with your Achilles tenant. It is the worst healing injury in the foot and ankle. It can be very difficult to resolve. You need to to learn how to ice massage with ice from a frozen Dixie cup. and stretch your calf and Achilles tendon. While you are walking you are not putting as much stress and stretch in the tendon. Ibuprofen or Aleve is helpful.

Accepted Answer

Plantar fasciitis: You possibly have plantar fasciitis, which is an inflammation in the sole of the foot. Begin stretching your foot every day. If it does not go away, see an orthopedist or podiatrist for help.

Accepted Answer

Utterly unclear: Do you mean your Achilles t e n d o n ? One or both? What does "bothering" mean? How long is a while? Tingling and numbness where? When was "today"? Your post suffers from a dearth of detail and a paucity of specificity. Please repost.

The : The primary symptoms of multiple sclerosis are caused by inflammation in the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord).  This inflammation usually causes damage to the outer, insulating part of nerve fibers called myelin, and can sometimes damage the fiber (or "axon") too.  The symptoms of multiple sclerosis overlap with a number of other neurological, medical and psychiatric conditions.  Multiple sclerosis can cause a number of symptoms, including vision loss, incoordination, weakness, and numbness, just to name a few.   Usually these symptoms do not occur all at once, but affect different functions of different parts of the body at different times.
