About a year ago I was playing ball and while driving to the basket, when my left heel hit the ground I felt a pain shoot up my Achilles tendon, but also to my midfoot. So as I went to jump off my left foot in that same step, I lost all vertical and strength. I kept playing because I could still put all weight and pressure on just that leg so I figured I didn't tear the tendon. I stopped hooping/running for a few months after that to rest. Now, nearly a year later, I have played ball a few times and I still have almost no vert just jumping off that foot and after I run or play, I have some pain in the tendon and midfoot. The only thing I can think of is a combination of a partially ruptured Achilles tendon that hasn't healed and a Lisfranc injury. I need to get it checked out but just started a new job and absolutely cannot afford to miss any time.
