A member asked:
Stood up on tip toe to reach an item, felt a pop in my heel and have pain when walking. has my achilles possibly torn or ruptured?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible tear: may have occurred in part of Achilles tendon or Plantaris tendon. May have just stretched it. If you can walk, it is very unlikely to be a complete rupture. Try rest and ice/heat and see how it responds. If pain fails to resolve or is severe, get it checked out by Physician.
