Hi all,

I'm working as a physio for a footy club and have had a player approach me with pain around his achilles tendon.

Problem = pain is ONLY felt when the tendon is relaxed. Palpation in DF elicits nothing. Palpation when ankle is in passive PF elicits sharp localised pain.
It is superior to the retrocalcaneal bursa and I feel no abnormal bony protruberance.

I know this isnt a very detailed Hx but its a very amatuer club and he was heading home for the night.

I've read something about it being possible for people to have an accessory soleus muscle and was wondering of the common presentation of this? I did read that it may be exacerbated by running and jumping but I havent been able to find anything else.

Any help appreciated
