Ask a PT Response: "There could be a number of things that could be going on in this area which you describe. It can include and is not limited to achilles tendon injury, gastroc injury, soleus injury, etc. Since you have been dealing with this for about 8 months now, it probably would be a good idea to seek the attention of a physical therapist now. Through an evaluation, the PT should be able to determine what may be causing your pain and develop a plan of care for you.

Some individuals are able to function with an achilles or calf tear. However, in regards to your question, can you go on with a tear? It willl have to depend on how large of a tear it is, your pain tolerance, your lifestyle and the kind of activities you are involved in. Those are all questions that should be asked in order to help you make an informed decision. Best of luck to you."
