What sort of problem is an achille's tendon injury?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Leg injury: The Achilles tendon connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. An injury to the Achilles tendon could be tendinitis (inflammation) from overuse, direct trauma such as being kicked, sprain or strain from being subjected to a strong force, or a tear of the fibers of the tendon.
