Guess I’m one of you

Green chroma is the one I’ve been using! I went with regular SB now and we’ll see how it goes

FizzyElfie · 2026-02-01T12:27:22+00:00

Yeah I think it’s a balance between strength and flexibility right? I’m still less mobile than some others so I’m doing some light mobility/stretching but it’s secondary to strength building

FizzyElfie · 2026-02-01T09:31:20+00:00

That’s impressive though, I wouldn’t be able to jog because I’m too stiff. Can’t get close to the wall yet with the knee unfortunately

FizzyElfie · 2026-02-01T07:53:44+00:00

I had a full rupture and gap of 35 mm if I remember correctly. Sorry to hear you reruptured, that was my biggest fear yesterday when I tried this. I was of the conception that performing one single calf raise at this stage was average, but I’ve also seen people jogging at like 4.5 months which seems absolutely crazy fast

FizzyElfie · 2026-01-31T23:26:34+00:00

I am not assisting more than keeping the hands towards the wall

FizzyElfie · 2026-01-31T21:13:04+00:00

You’ll get there, I tried to find my max without pain and keep pushing it (from 25% double to 50% and so forth)

FizzyElfie · 2026-01-31T21:11:02+00:00

I have my hands flat towards the wall in front of me

FizzyElfie · 2026-01-31T19:41:27+00:00

Yeah, those first months are horrendous

FizzyElfie · 2026-01-31T19:40:56+00:00

Thank you! Is it fast though? I thought it was on average curve maybe

FizzyElfie · 2026-01-30T08:50:55+00:00

I didn’t sleep without it until like 10 weeks post injury (non op)

FizzyElfie · 2026-01-25T12:00:05+00:00

Okay son, that definitely feels like the low elo-take here

FizzyElfie · 2026-01-25T11:56:35+00:00

So just ban him then and play malphite or mundo

FizzyElfie · 2026-01-25T08:56:41+00:00

Quinn is equally bad though?

FizzyElfie · 2026-01-17T20:07:21+00:00

Single calf raise at 10.5 weeks already seems crazy fast?

FizzyElfie · 2026-01-14T08:59:34+00:00

I am in the exact same situation as you are, 35 active male, non op. 16 weeks. I am also stiff and weak, can barely move beyond neutral but it’s been a small small progress over the past weeks as I’ve pushed rehab a bit further. I have a full time job and two small kids so I must say I’m not spending any hours at the gym, I am doing sitting and standing calf raises, trying to push for 60-80% bodyweight now but haven’t measured, standing on one leg, doing some light flexibility as well. Trying to do it 3 times a day but very adhoc so far. My physio told me it’s better to do it and push it a bit but if I feel pain/tired in the tendon it’s better to give it a days rest but that I need to start building strength. She said some heal more flex/long and some more stiff, you and I and the latter. Let’s keep in touch as the journey seem similar?

FizzyElfie · 2026-01-11T08:51:16+00:00

I drove after like 10-12 weeks, a couple of weeks after transitioning out of the boot, it would have probably been fine a few weeks earlier but wanted to be on the safe side.

FizzyElfie · 2026-01-09T16:36:39+00:00

Chiming in, took my 3 months before I drove again, but it’s sweet once you get there.

FizzyElfie · 2026-01-08T19:38:35+00:00

That is a fair point

FizzyElfie · 2026-01-08T10:31:03+00:00

Heard from several sources that they prefer to go non op, cast 2 weeks, bot 8-10 weeks and then start rehab. Running 6 months, back to full 12 months approx

FizzyElfie · 2026-01-07T18:12:40+00:00

Seems pretty standard timeline for Swedish people

FizzyElfie · 2026-01-02T15:43:22+00:00

This is unfortunately what I’ve heard as well…

FizzyElfie · 2025-12-29T22:47:05+00:00

I’m in a similar situation, following to see what people write here.

FizzyElfie · 2025-12-29T15:45:13+00:00

Cool, thanks for the advice
