What Causes Pulling Sensation From Achilles To Curvature Of Heel Upon Exertion?

default
Posted on Thu, 20 Aug 2015
Question: When doing a heel drop stretch on my non dominate left side (only one side is effected) I feel a non painful pulling or tear sensation at the bottom part of my Achilles to the curvature of the heel. Not sure what it is... Was more noticeable when I actively walked a month ago now only if I deliberately stretch it.
