I came close to rupturing my achilles tendon about 2 months ago. I have several small muscles tears throughout the tendon. I have been in a walking boot since then, and I have to wear it for at least another month. I am also doing physical therapy. I am still in a lot of pain, and I wondered if anyone else has had this problem and has any suggestions or suggests that I get an MRI? Thanks!

my friend was in the same situation when she sprained it doing sprints at soccer practice. also, me and my sister have both been in physical therapy before for sports injuries. the therapy actually caused my sister more problems than she had before. her shoulder started dislocating in more places (she did cheerleading) and pretty much did more damage than it helped. you may want to consider this next time you go. if the tendon is inflamed or irritated, therapy may do more harm than help. if it does get worse, definately go for an MRI! hope you feel better
