Achilles tendon pop? Way to test?
July 19th, 2010 | 
Author: Today I was playing tennis, when changing directions, I stepped pretty hard (not stretched out though) on the court, and felt a small pop by my achilles tendon area. It didn’t hurt much so I kept playing. I’m wondering if theres a way to see/test if there was a partial tear or rupture or anything. One foot looks just slightly different, and my foot is kind of numb/tingly, but other then that, no major pain. I’m able to stand on my tip toes too. Let me know. Thanks

I tore my achilles tendon last year. I was sliding around the kitchen in socks and went to change directions too fast and heard a loud pop. (So stupid I know!) But I was in immediate pain, I couldn’t move my foot or put any pressure on it and it got really swollen really fast. Mine was a complete tear and I ended up needing surgery to repair it. If you can move your foot and stand on your toes then it’s probably not completely torn or ruptured. But you can’t really be sure so I would defiantly go see a doctor to be sure because you never know.
