4. Burning
As with other types of problems with the tendons, the rupture of the Achilles tendon is accompanied by a burning sensation in the area. The presence of heat in the heel area is not enough to confirm that there is a problem with the Achilles tendon. The presence of heat may indicate other conditions, such an internal infection that must be dealt with promptly, especially if the burning sensation is not accompanied by other symptoms of an Achilles heel rupture.
One sign that the feeling of burning is a symptom of Achilles tendon rupture is if the feeling accompanied a sudden dramatic movement that led to a popping or sudden pain along the Achilles heel. If the hot sensation did not let up after this, you may have torn or ruptured the Achilles tendon. Applying ice packs to the area can cool off the hot sensation and bring relief.
