A member asked:

Who should i see to figure out what's wrong with my achilles tendon?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sports podiatrist: A sports podiatrist is probably the best person to evaluate, diagnose and treat an achilles tendon injury. You can obtain such a person from the american academy of podiatric sports medicine's website.

Every time I stretch my Achilles tendon by kneeling, I get a sharp pain and sometimes even a popping sensation. I have had this for about 2 weeks. Oh, and by the way, I am a cross country runner in the middle of my summer training. What could be wrong?
