A member asked:
My calf hurts to touch around the achilles tendon? what causes this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: there are several things it could be. It depends on what your symptoms are. It could be a spur on the back of the heel or it could be an inflammation of the Achilles tendon. It also could be partially or fully torn Achilles' tendon. You could try to use ice and immobilization with an ace wrap and decrease your activities and take an NSAID. Otherwise see a doctor to have it looked at.
