According to MayoClinic.org, Achilles (uh-KILL-eez) tendon rupture is an injury that affects the back of your lower leg. It mainly occurs in people playing recreational sports, but it can happen to anyone.
The Achilles tendon is a strong fibrous cord that connects the muscles in the back of your calf to your heel bone. If you overstretch your Achilles tendon, it can tear (rupture) completely or just partially.
If your Achilles tendon ruptures, you might hear a pop, followed by an immediate sharp pain in the back of your ankle and lower leg that is likely to affect your ability to walk properly. Surgery is often performed to repair the rupture. For many people, however, nonsurgical treatment works just as well.
Ruptures often are caused by a sudden increase in the stress on your Achilles tendon. Common examples include:
Increasing the intensity of sports participation, especially in sports that involve jumping, Falling from a height, and Stepping into a hole
In Jalango's case, the Achilles tendon occurred during sports that involved running, jumping, and sudden starts and stops.
Meanwhile, Jalango expressed regret for missing out on the biggest night in Kenyan entertainment.
On Saturday, Sep 30, Fally Ipupa, Tiwa Savage, and Nyashinski performed at the Uhuru Gardens.
The concert was highly attended but Jalang'o owing to his injury did not attend.
"Sherehe inatwangaa hii Nairobi leo...na mimi niko hospital..Awuoro!!!..Machoos tupu," he captioned laughing at his state.
