I am a chronic ankle sprainer and now am suffering from a miserable problem! If I am sitting "indian style" and then try to get up, something in my ankle "locks." I am unable to dorsiflex my ankle, it feels like my achilles tendon will rip if I try too hard. The pain is severe and only localized to a small area in my achilles tendon. If I manipulate it long enough then it will sometimes "pop" or release and the pain is gone. It has gotten to the point that I can't even play on the ground with my kids for fear that it will catch and I will not be able to walk again until it releases. I'd love any input if anyone knows what this is or what might help!
Thanks!!
