A member asked:

What should i do if i have numbness and discomfort in my achilles area.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nerve pain: Get evaluated for possible tarsal tunnel syndrome. This could be caused by several things such as poorly cushioned shoes, swelling in the heel and ankle, trauma etc. Try icing the heel, new shoes with good cushioned heel, and rest/elevation. If it doesnt help seek a podiatrist.
