Seriously though, I had a mate who ruptured his Achilles tendon stepping off a kerb into the road and that made a clearly audible sound. He was on crutches for a while. Probably worth getting it checked out properly, esp if you can't walk on it normally or stand on tip toes.Last edited by doodab; 9 May 2013, 22:10.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you.

Found an ice pack thingy an old GF left behind years ago - one of those oblong slabs you freeze and put in a cool box, but it'll take a while to freeze. Only alternative is a couple of chops or some sausages, so I think I'll wait
Found the ibuprofen after hobbling round the flat looking in various places. Turned out it was right next to where I started, tucked in with my usual daily meds
Couple of those and a Badger Brewery Poacher's Choice: self-medication FTW!Comment
