What Causes Shooting Pain In Achilles Tendon?
I have had some issues with my Achilles tendon ( intermittant burning ) over the past year. I have an appointment with an Orthopedist July 7, but today I am having sharp shooting pain from that area. I still have the same level of motion. Could I have a partial tear? Thanks, Leigh

It is mainly due to inflammation of ligament. It takes a little long time for your pain to subside.
You can take Voveran SR (Diclofenac Sustained Relief) two tab daily after food for 5 days. Apply Voveran gel tropically. From day 3 or day 4, you can start physiotherapy by taking short term diathermy. Also you can start exercises as suggested by physiotherapist.
