My Limping Buddy....can Anyone Help?????
Posted: 05-26-04 15:29pm

Hello. I am very concerned with a problem my buddy is having. Some how he injured his achilles tendon; his heel is swollen, he complains about heel pain sharp and going up the back of his foot, its red and he cant bend it forward/normal rang of motion, nor can he walk on it. I dont know if he should go to emergency or not. The pain does go down when its elevated and iced. What should we do?

Go to the doctor. Better to spend the time at the doctor than face an injury that recurs because you didn't do anything about it for too long.
