Achilles

He said it's been going on for quite a long time - has anyone had something like this? There's gotta be something wrong! I esp hear it when he's walking barefoot around the house.

Practically all the joints in my body crack a lot of the time. If there's pain or loss of function it may be more serious. He doesn't use steroids, does he? That can make your tendons more likely to break. -------------- The path to righteousness is a cycle path

If his achelis snaps......he wouldn't be walking lol he wouldn't be able to point his toes or put weight on it. -------------- gravity is not a law, only a obstacle
