A member asked:
I injured my right achilles' tendon last week while exercising, and now i can't walk and the tendon is swollen. any suggestions?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Achilles : You want to have the tendon examined for rupture. There are three comon areas the tendon can tear and the most commom site is about 5 cm up from the heel bone. Stay off the area and ice 15 min on 15 min off till you can get seen....
