Achilles tendon: Sharp pain in the Achilles tendon could be a pull in the muscle, or a tear in the Achilles tendon. This should be checked by an orthopedic surgeon before you do more lifting.

See a physician: If you have swelling and heard a pop its a good idea to see a specialist to determine if you have had a injury or rupture to the achilles.
