If you overstretch your Achilles tendon, it can tear (rupture). A rupture can be partial or complete. Usually the rupture occurs just above your heel bone, but it can happen anywhere along the tendon.
First, there's a pop or a snap. Then an immediate sharp pain in the back of your ankle and lower leg makes it impossible to walk properly. It almost feels like you've been kicked, or even shot.
These are the sensations typical of a rupture of your Achilles tendon. This tendon is a large, strong fibrous cord that connects the muscles in the back of your lower leg to your heel bone (calcaneus). Your Achilles tendon - also called your heel cord - helps you point your foot downward, rise on your toes and push off your foot as you walk. You rely on it virtually every time you move your foot.
If you overstretch your Achilles tendon, it can tear (rupture). A rupture can be partial or complete. Usually the rupture occurs just above your heel bone, but it can happen anywhere along the tendon.
Several other problems can affect your Achilles tendon, causing pain or requiring treatment. These include bursitis and tendinitis. Although bursitis and tendinitis often improve with home treatment, a ruptured Achilles tendon usually requires surgical repair.
