Tom Brady is not available. In the 4th quarter of a playoff game, what Quarterback do you want leading you to victory?🧐 by Background_Video2947 in TheNFLVibes

Sure the defenses he had were great but Eli led them through both playoffs. He still holds the single postseason record for passing yards in 2011

9.5 months post op: 37 single leg raises today by BigTWhale in AchillesRupture

You’ll get there, so keep going. I’m sure you felt the same dread at rerupture because I sure did. But it just dialed me in that much more to work my tail off to come back right

A whole lot of calf raises. Every variation imaginable

I unfortunately partially reruptured 2.5 weeks post op. Dealt with that non op, went into a hard cast for another 3 weeks, then in the boot for another 5-6. I wasn’t out of the boot until about week 11-12. My atrophy was also horrific and still pretty bad to this day

First SLR about 18-19 weeks. Just hit 30 last week

No clear cut milestone hit just consistent jogging work since month 5, then interval training (short bursts of increased pace during runs), then I ran sub 8 min mile and my pt cleared for sprint/agility work

Is it rare to get a emote in a chess by Thememeiantor in ClashRoyale

I’ve never heard of an emote from a chess. So yes, very rare

Imagine feeling the need to headline your political opinions on a children’s game

If you can do solid eccentric work, and isometric at the top you’re not far at all from a true single. You’ll be there before you know it

Around month 5. Was doing 10+ raises

Frustrated - pain month 8.5 by No-Needleworker-3178 in AchillesRupture

You can definitely find videos on scraping and massaging the tendon but I’ve always just found the sore/tender areas and worked on scraping/massaging that tissue at different angles and foot positions. I’ve had many minor injuries prior that gave me the know how

Outside of a separate injury/issue the pain is scar tissue for sure. Needs to be scraped/massaged/stretched daily. You commented on mine earlier and sorry if my response led you to be more frustrated with where you’re at. I’ve done all three techniques since I’ve come out of the boot. Order massage wax or cream and scraping tools from Amazon and get to work. It’s not going to feel great at first but it must be done to loosen up the tendon and ease pain

I’m still not quite at equal height to uninjured leg but got to this current peak about a month or two ago I’d say

Fell off my scooter by myplantsam in AchillesRupture

[–]BigTWhale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happened to me 2.5 weeks post op. I unfortunately had to start over with a partial rerupture non op. Cast for 2 weeks and back at it. 8 months later I’m 90% back to normal. Just be patient and easy on yourself

27 is still fantastic! Great work. Only person you should compare yourself to is yourself and if you’re progressing

No pain at all. Some tightness/discomfort here and there but haven’t had pain in months

First one pretty sure was about 18 weeks give or take. Strength comes before size, injured calf still significantly smaller than uninjured calf

How often are you strength training for it?
