You may still be able to walk with an Achilles tendon injury, though it is likely you will experience at least some degree of pain or discomfort, and you may have trouble pushing off of the injured foot. However, while you may be able to walk, that doesn’t necessarily mean that you should. Achilles tendon ruptures are often treated with surgery, and full recovery can require wearing a cast and refraining from putting weight on the affected leg. Resting the affected leg is recommended regardless of the severity of the injury, and you should not fully resume your usual activities without the okay of your doctor. Putting too much strain on the Achilles tendon before it heals fully may result in chronic pain and an increased likelihood of further injury.
