The Achilles is the strongest tendon in your body - connecting your calf muscles to the back of the heel bone. When the #Achillestendon ruptures or tears, it can cause sudden, severe pain and make it difficult to even put weight on the injured foot. #AchillesTendonRupture often requires surgical repair and weeks of #physicaltherapy. Full recovery from #achillesinjury can require several months. #Achilles #TendonSurgery #Recovery #Injury #Pain #Athletics #Fitness | Cory Calendine, M.D.
