A member asked:

What to do if i have extremely sore back after feeling a popping sensation in my lower back?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely musculoskelet: Most likely it is musculo skeletal injury. If not relieved after about 1 month then see an orthopedic surgeon.

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?
