Easy home test for Achilles tendon rupture

I just got a call from a runner who I have seen before. He had swelling in his Achilles tendon, and he was worried about it.  He was worried that he could have a ruptured or completely torn Achilles tendon. If you are a runner and you get a complete rupture of the Achilles tendon, this is one of the worst things that could possibly happen to you. A torn Achilles is way worse than a broken bone. The worst thing you could do is ignore a torn Achilles. You do not want to ignore it! Today on the Doc On The Run podcast, we're talking about an easy at home test you can do if you think you have a complete rupture of the Achilles tendon.
