| Achilles tendon rupture - aftercare : The Achilles tendon connects your calf muscles to your heel bone. Together, they help you push your heel off the ground and go up on your toes. You use these muscles and your Achilles tendon when you walk, run, and jump. If your Achilles tendon stretches too far, it can tear or rupture. If this happens, you may: - Hear a snapping, cracking, or popping sound and feel a sharp pain in the back of your leg or ankle - Have trouble moving your foot to walk or go up stairs - Have difficulty standing on your toes - Have bruising or swelling in your leg or foot - Feel like someone hit you at the back of your ankle with a bat | |
