I recently tore my achilles tendon. i haven't gone to the doctor but it doesn't look like a complete rupture. can i heal it without seeing a doctor?

MRI + Exam = Best: You may be okay. But, to avoid potential complications down the road, it is best to see an ankle specialist for proper examination and get an MRI to further define your condition.
