A member asked:
I was walking up stairs and i felt a pop in my foot. it is a little sore. did a tendon slip out of place?

Depends: Where did you feel the pop and did it prevent you from walking? Yes, a tendon can slip but it can also tear. Ice, wrap and elevate your foot. Something simple should resolve in a few days. If pain, swelling increases and you have difficulty bearing weight then get it checked. If it is improving start some simple motion exercises for your foot and advance your activity as tolerated.

See a physician: If you felt a 'pop' and are having pain and swelling, you may have ruptured a tendon or a ligament and a thorough examination by a physician is needed to ensure you are treated appropriately.

Heard a snapping/popping noise at the back of the heel (near the achilles tendon), felt sudden pain but it went away immediately but feels sore now. No problem moving the ankle, no swelling or redness, the area is fine to touch as well, but worried?
I try using a pillow to raise the back of my sore heel but it still doesn't stop the burning pain. I wonder if Achilles tendon is involved. Walk OK.
