Jun 10, 2019 at 0:27 comment added JohnP @Benjamin and there we have the main problem with this. Answers are nothing but "I'm guessing" which is horrible fit for the stack exchange format.

Jun 9, 2019 at 15:13 comment added SurpriseDog @JohnP I edited it to remove all medical details and focus solely on stretching in line with the other questions in the related tab. Can you release the hold?

Edited out medical issues to focus on the stretching.
Jun 7, 2019 at 16:16 comment added VSO @JohnP I know whoever marked this is just following the agreed on rules, so I am def not trying to be hostile. It's just, that in my experience a lot injuries are DIRECTLY sports related, and extremely common. There is value in knowing what causes shin splints, for example. It's not medical advice, it's fitness advice. Anyway, I will bring it up in the meta once I am not too lazy, ty for the suggestion.

Jun 6, 2019 at 21:38 comment added JohnP @VSO - I understand your frustration, but medical diagnosis type questions have always been off topic. Even on Health/Medical Science, "diagnose me" type questions are off topic. Additionally, even if this wasn't a "why do I hurt here?" type of question, there is nothing about fitness or working out in the post. If you would like, you can raise the question on meta and see how the community feels about it.
Jun 6, 2019 at 14:03 comment added VSO I don't believe this is off topic at all. This has NOTHING to do with "health" - it has EVERYTHING to do with working out correctly, which is what this board is about. To me, it's entirely absurd that good posts like these get flagged as off topic. @Benjamin To me it looks like your IT band is tight, your hip flexors might be tight, but sitting like that mainly tests for IT band inflexibility.

Jun 6, 2019 at 13:06 comment added Lux Claridge Welcome to Physical Fitness.SE! Athlean-X has an excellent video on hip flexor tightness and IIRC around the 4 minute mark he illustrates a simple test to determine if your hip flexors are not up to snuff. This doesn't really answer your Achilles tendon problem, but may shed some light on the issue?
