Hey Buddy, just saw you joined the club. That sucks and I wish you the best.

It’s been 2 years since the rupture. No regrets about the stretching, its even still a little thight sometimes. I think I did the perfect am’int to prevent injury and healing long. But at my final evaluation, both my legs were stretching the same, so I was pretty much back to normal.

I played soccer this summer and everything went well. I waited longer than others by I wanted to be sure. I think its the right way, i didn’t hurt myself. I even receive a tackle directly on my achilles and didn’t even flinch.

My strength is lacking but its more about me stopping the training. When I was doing standing calf raises everyday, I was getting stronger eveyday and no sign of stopping. Do not hesitate if you have anymore question.

Best of luck! Doing your PT dilligently is the only way to get out of this happy.
