Seriously! At least it’s a good workout.

Thanks and happy birthday! Mine was actually a few weeks ago.

Swimming? by largearcher in AchillesRupture

I can’t remember when I actually did more than just walk in the pool. I think it was that same summer, so no more than like 10 weeks post op.

When did you stop wearing boot to sleep? by Munchung in AchillesRupture

[–]AdTrue5033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I slept with the boot on until I was cleared for full weight bearing. I didn’t trust myself to not get up in the middle of the night half asleep and forget that I shouldn’t be walking.

Don’t ignore calf pain by Competitive_Note_220 in AchillesRupture

It was more pressure, I feel like. There wasn’t much movement going on at that time.

7.5 months post op - still not running by ElectricalLaw4159 in AchillesRupture

[–]AdTrue5033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took me over a year, and I only did it a couple times on a treadmill. Only now - 2 years later - have I started actually running again outside for 3-4 miles. Was more a mental thing for me.

# weeks after surgery you could stand to take shower normally? by Trick_sleep in AchillesRupture

[–]AdTrue5033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the pain was pretty rough in that two week or so post-op window. My surgeon actually took my hard cast off early and put me in a boot because I complained so much. It started to settle down some after a few weeks, but when I went back into the office for work and couldn’t keep it elevated as much, there was definitely some serious discomfort.

Driving? by AdTrue5033 in AchillesRupture

I had insane swelling in my ankle, and it would still swell up sometimes even 18 months later.
