A member asked:
What could cause pain in the back of my heel near the end of the achilles tendon?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The Achilles' tendon: Itself could be inflamed or degenerated, there may be calcification in the tendon, you can have an inflamed burase, a posterior heel spur or a haglund's deformity which is a protrusion of bone at the superior posterior aspect of the heel bone.

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?
