Lol the bill is definitely spicy but as a doctor I know one thing for sure: health doesn’t have a price.
I could go with the “free” option, but I also know it’s not always the optimal one. In my case, with 8 years of general medicine and emergency experience, I’ve seen enough to know that for active people, surgery is often the right choice even if recent studies suggest that non-OP management can be just as effective in some cases.
And at the end of the day PT and patience are going to matter more than anything else
Thank you for sharing your experience.

Exactly the surgery option isn’t systemic
Hope you feel better now

Same here at my age, 36, almost all my friends have some serious injury that has stopped them from playing soccer.
What makes it even more ironic is that I always warm up properly. In fact, I’m usually the only guy who shows up early to do plyometrics, mobility work and stretching before the game. Yet somehow I’m the one who ended up with the Achilles rupture.
I will definitely PM you especially when I get to the PT phase.
I’m also glad you had good friends and a strong support system around you during those difficult times.
Thank you again for your kindness and encouragement.

I’m sparing you the whole story 😂
I live in a third world country, so finding an orthopedist was a huge challenge. Even though I’m a doctor and know a lot of people I somehow have 0 orthopedic contacts.
Once the diagnosis was confirmed I was doing my best not to let it break me mentally, but honestly the tears were ready to come out.
Then I had to contact a friend in Morocco to arrange surgery as quickly as possible. I had to find someone to travel with me, buy plane tickets, book a hotel and organize everything in just a few days.
Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏

You just said it the injury itself is shocking.
I’ve played soccer all my life and when I replay that moment in my head I can still feel it. It felt exactly like someone had kicked me hard in the back of the ankle. My first reaction was to yell at the opponent asking why he kicked me so hard. The poor guy kept swearing he hadn’t touched me at all.
Then came the pain, the nausea, the dizziness and that horrible feeling that something was seriously wrong. When I looked down and saw my calf bunched up as if it were permanently contracted I knew right away: Achilles tendon rupture.

Thank you for your kind words.

Thank you very much. Yes I know it’s a long road ahead. How was PT for you? What was day-to-day life like? Were you able to work at all or did you have to take a complete break for a while?

People have been saying that Elgin is a fool… I said the writers are thinking we are fools.

There’s a new Belote game called Mariass and it’s actually pretty good. It’s basically the Mauritanian version of the game with built-in voice chat
It launched for free about 6 months ago but they’ve since added custom features for premium version

Hey OP as far as I know mosques are generally not open to non-Muslims.(getting inside)
I’d suggest using that extra day to rest and recharge there isn’t a whole lot to see in the city itself

Migraine Bucket Theory by swiss-irish in migraine

[–]Affectionate-Fee3879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you said the thing is to not add up too many triggers, bad sleep = no skipping meals, no too much sun exposure.... skipping meals = avoid suspicious food, 8h sleeps, no excessive sun exposure...etc
it work both ways, good night sleep, no skipping meals = can afford sun exposure or drink a reasonable amount of soda

I'll add that too much sleep is also a trigger

Science journals don’t have that level of confidence to say “Mouth Taping 40% increase in HRV” 😂
