A member asked:
What to do if i cannot bend my toes inward because my achilles tendon hurts too much, what is the problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Flexor hallucis: It is possible what you are feeling is actually pain involving the flexor hallucis longus tendon eg. The one that bends your big toe down as it proceeds from its muscle belly and courses to the toe it runs in the same area as the achilles' tendon actually beneath it.
