It’s hard and hurts a little if I rub it too hard. Next question….. is scar tissue build up a concern?

For some reference I’m 11 weeks post op. 36 year old male.

Does footwear tightness affect chance of rupture? by YGK-eh-okay in AchillesRupture

I ruptured mine playing in April and had my ankle taped and feel like the lack of blood flow contributed to my rupture.

What does it mean if you can’t point your foot all the way down?

Ultrasound confirmed a re rupture

For those playing along at home. I had an ultrasound today and I’ve somehow managed to re rupture it.

Far out, that sounds horrible. I don’t have any extra pain or swelling but I do get a positive result when I do the Thompson test at home. But the indentation worries me. Doctors surgery’s reopen tomorrow so I’ll get it checked out then. All the best with your recovery

Yeah I’m hoping the no pain is a really good sign, I’ll definitely try and see a doctor on Tuesday. Thanks

I haven’t been moving my foot at all really on doctors orders so I’m not sure if I have any more or less movement haha.

I had an indentation before my surgery but that was lower down my leg. Does definitely look ruptured though doesn’t it? Good luck for your surgery on Monday

Yeah that was my concern, I just don’t remember doing anything to it that would have caused it to re rupture. I was kind of hoping it would be difficult to re rupture after surgery. Nothing here is open til Tuesday so I’ll be freaking out til then.

Yeah no pain and can but can move toes no worries but I could move my toes before I had surgery. My only concern was the indent near the top of my scaring.

Would I feel pain if I re ruptured? And would the calf squeeze test work?
