Understanding Achilles Tendon Injuries
The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in the body, connecting the calf muscles to the heel bone. Injuries to the Achilles tendon, such as strains, tears, or ruptures, are often caused by sudden increases in physical activity, sports injuries, or falls.
Common Symptoms of Achilles Tendon Injuries:
- Sudden, sharp pain in the back of the ankle or calf
