my achilies tendon - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

pacaveli · 12-22-2006, 10:34 PM

there is something kinda wrong with it. I sprained my ankle about 3 days ago, nothing serious. I was on the ground putting together a TV stand for my families new TV for christmass, and when i stood up and trying to walk it felt like my achiles was stuck at where it was when i was on the ground.

what i mean by that is when i tryed to put my foot at a 9 degree angel it there was tightness and a degree of pain. it was real sudden, nothing really to cause the pain, so i thought it'll go away in a couple of minutes. 3 hours later and it's still tight

any clues as to whats up with it?

I'm far from a reliable medical source, but my guess is that it is tendonitis. If it persists, be sure to consult a physician.

Is the foot more mobile now? It might be some random cramp thingy, or maybe you pulled the tendon a little when you stood up. Try soaking the foot in warm water and wriggle it about a bit, and keep the ankle warm and cozy for a while.

If you have sprained your ankle then I guess you've been walking very gently on that foot for the last days and the Achilles tendon might have stiffened up from lack of use, hence the cramp/pulling now.

it was very sudden, i have a bone chip in the ankle from previous problems, im wondering if the little sucker has floated into an area where it could be aggrevating it
