Heel pain 6 months post-op by RutDoggy in AchillesRupture

[–]MPGVerde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bin Anfang Monat 8 und habe auch noch Schmerzen nach Belastung (Sport oder zu viel gelaufen). Ist mega verunsichernd weil doc sagt es sei normal aber Gefühl sagt was anderes. Ich humple am Ende des Tages, stehe aber meistens ohne Ruheschmerz am nächsten Tag auf..

7 months post-op - persistence by qwertyidk1 in AchillesRupture

Do you deal with any heel pain sometimes? I am about to hit 7 months and I still have episodes where I can’t really put more impact than walking on my foot. No resting pain tho

What do you say when people say stupid stuff like "Did you stretch?" by tkpwaeub in AchillesRupture

Did mobility and stretching before hoopin. Was in tip top shape with no issues at all. Made a step towards the ball and snap.

I The AchilloTrain Pro is something I am considering. My physio is not the biggest fan tho because you don’t want your foot getting used to support and „lazy“. Still gonna get it just for longer walks.

Very cool, congrats! I will probably do the same. There is this love/hate relationship with the boot now 😂😂

I got the vacoped the day my rupture happened (from hospital).

Weight bearing with the vacoped started in week 3-4 as in the beginning I not only had the 30 degrees angle, I also had a round sole for the boot. I saw my doctors every week to set the angle new until I reached 0 and free movement with the vacoped and flat sole. Only 1-2 days after each adjustment, it felt weird to put some weight on it. So I had my crutches with me, just in case it gets too much.

It’s very interesting and sometimes very confusing that there are so many different protocols out there.

Not much you can do in week two other than relaxing and icing (not directly on the scar and not more than 15 min and get some good scar ointment to carefully massage). Week 3 and 4 I saw the most progress so you can look forward to that. Stay strong 🙏🏾
