What causes severe pain in the heels after an achilles tendon injury?
Patient: I have torn both of my Achilles previously, not from the heel but complete rupture in between the calf and heel. For the past week Ive been having pain on the lower half of my heel. Today while flexing foot upward extreme pain at heel. The Achilles in not torn now. Ideas? Doctor: Hello,  Most probably it will be an inflammatory pain.  As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like Aceclofenac/Serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.  If symptoms persist you can consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
