popping in heel

I am a CNA and in moving patients up in their beds with a draw sheet I have been experiencing a pop in the back of my right heel.
It feels gross and will hurt for several hours and even into the next day.
What is this?
Thanks

    Without examining you, I can not say for sure. One possibility is a partial tear of the Achilles tendon. There are other possibilities of course. You should see a podiatrist for further evaluation.
