How do i know if i tore my achilles tendon?

Achilles: Lay on your belly, have someone queeze on your calf. If your foot does not move down then this suggest Achilles tendon rupture. However, is better to see doctor. We can't answer you question on the internet.

Often clinical dx: The signs of this are often fairly typical and a physician is usually able to tell with a simple examination; both palpation of the tendon and a test call the thompson test are easy techniques. A surgeon may order an MRI for preoperative planning if needed.

It depends on: the severity of the injury, but in general pain/swelling in the back of the foot/heel, and inability to bend foot downward or stand on toes.
