What Causes Indentation On Achilles?
My calf/achilles was sore this morning so i rapped it in an ace bandage and used athletic tape to secure the bandage as well as add support in the weaker area, now it feels like there is an indentation in my achilles. could that be caused by the tape/bandage being too tight?

Yeah. Seems like the indentation is due to support n tight bandage. Remove it for sometime, keep the leg elevated on a pillow and immerse it in hot water for sometime. If it still persists after 6-8 hours, contact an orthopedician.

HI
Well come to HCM
The muscular pain is very likely and that could be due to spasm, because of the applying of bandage and tape that might have caused the swelling which might be looking like indentation to you, in my opinion the condition can be treated with Tab Chlorzoxazone three times in day, hope this helps.
