Hello, I am having trouble with my achilles tendon and believe it is tendinitis or a tear. I was wondering what I can do for it. My symptoms include can not bear weight, can not move foot ip or down, swelling, pain in ankle heel and calf. I was seen at an urgent care and was placed in a boot and put on motrin 800.
