Soreness and tightness in the tendon behind the ankle, known as the Achilles tendon, is often caused by overuse, improper footwear, tight calf muscles, or sudden increases in physical activity. It can also be a result of tendonitis, where the tendon becomes inflamed due to repetitive stress or strain. Proper stretching, rest, and wearing supportive shoes can help alleviate these symptoms.

Why do I still get a slight limp in one leg after an Achilles tendon injury?

A slight limp after an Achilles tendon injury can be due to factors like muscle weakness, limited range of motion, or altered gait patterns developed during the recovery process. Rehabilitation focused on strengthening the affected muscles, improving flexibility, and retraining gait can help reduce or eliminate the limp over time. It is essential to work closely with a healthcare provider or physical therapist to address these issues effectively.


Why does your ankle and or foot get numb when you run on it?

The most frequent cause is tying your running shoes too tight and cutting off circulation. When you run, your feet (as well as the rest of your body) requires more blood flow. If your shoes are too tight, then the needed blood flow doesn't get to the periphery of your feet and you feel a numbness (and sometimes tingling) sensation.

If your ankle is swollen slightly then you should not have to convince your father that you have sprained your ankle. Put hot and cold cloths on it to bring the swelling down and a tensor bandage (not too tight) that you can buy at the drug store. Meanwhile talk to your mother or an aunt to have the ankle looked at in case you have a hairline fracture.
