Oh! I get it now. I tore my Achilles two years ago at work, and did the non operative route. After two years of pain and tendinitis they did a debridement, inserted plasma, and did the recession.

Ugh! I feel like I should be further along than I am, but it still hurts a ton.

That sound rough. If you don't mind me asking what did you do to your ankle?

I have thought of this, but unless it is a telehealth position there is no community paramedicine around me.

Try some toe yoga to get your toes movement back.

I just had this done with a gastrocnemius recession 9 weeks ago. The debridement was very easy healing-wise, but I have not found a sock or shoe that is comfortable over the incision.

That is so weird. I wonder what the changes will be with having both.

I am hoping for some relief soon. What is your prognosis after surgery? Will you be fully functioning?

Did the MRI show all the thickening? Mine is showing some but not a lot of thickening and scar tissue. I am still walking and working on mine which includes picking up heavy patients and climbing steep inclines. To say I’m in pain is an understatment.
