I've been in more pain than stubbing my toe before a lot more but in the same region has anyone ever had their achillies tendon hit by something hard? I have. I was at work and the roll cage that I was pulling behind me snagged on the edge of a board and "leapt" over it and smashed in to the back of my heel, I was wearing boots but even so the pain was blinding and I dropped like a sack of potatoes.
