Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
At 9pm tonight my wonderful husband played indoor soccer tonight. He was kicked in the Achilles heal hard and was thrown down hard on the Astro turf . He got back up and within less than 2 minutes he felt and heard a LOUD POP! Which shocked him and he couldn t put any weight on the leg at all. above the Achilles tendon where he was previously kicked. It s extremely painful (we ve been married 16 yrs and this is the first time I ve seen him in pain like this.. He s still hiding it from me but I see it and how he can t get around now.). it s swelling but I have ice packs at 20 on and 20 min off Continuously. Along with that he hates any medicine but I had him take 2 Advil for swelling pain. Any ideas?

Suggest Treatment For Achilles Tendinitis
Hello, Your symptoms seem to be related to tendinitis. I suggest using an anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen three tablets a day. I also suggest doing moderate stretching exercises to relieve. If the symptoms continue, you should see an orthopedist. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
