A member asked:
Can the achilles tear away from the lateral side of the soleus muscle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Achilles : yes. Usually the Achilles' tendon ruptures above the insertion to the heel. But higher tears are possible. Get an MRI and see a podiatrist or orthopedic foot and ankle doctor
