A doctor has provided 1 answer

Planters tendon tear: Above is possible. It is not serious. and doesn't require treatment unless you can't bear weight. It is a very thin tendon that is in the back of your calf and when it tears,it feels like you have been hit in the calf with something.Treat symptomatically as you are doing.
