A member asked:
I had my achilles tendon repaired about 3 years ago. i get cramps and my foot becomes numb sometimes, especially when i've been exercising, walking or standing too long. is this normal?

Pain: It would be unlikely that the tendon repair would be causing your symptoms now. Calf injury, electrolyte problems, DVT or vascular problems possible.
