A member asked:

Can a pinched tibial nerve in the lower extremity cause a swollen/inflamed achilles and paratendon? rupture ruled out by doctor.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It could cause: You to walk funny and hence injure it. I wouldn't worry so much what caused what as opposed to just fixing what is wrong.
