A member asked:
Can someone give me some details on achilles tendon injury?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends on severity: If the achilles tendon injury is minor or just inflamed like a tendonitis, it can be improved with rest, ice and nsaid. Sometimes therapy can help along with stretching. If the tendon is totally torn, you may need a surgical repair to obtain the best result.

Yes: An achilles tendon injury is usually from direct trauma or from an overstretching injury. The area becomes swollen , painful and difficult to walk on.
