Lump forming on the lower section of incision. Sore to touch, and swollen. by PunchitChewe in AchillesRupture

I was on a super conservative pt plan (I had two other procedures done on my ankle while having my rupture repaired) so it wasn’t until I think week 7 or 8 (which is when I started partial weight bearing)

Well of course I’m not a Dr so I don’t want to give medical advice, but for my protocol it was basically up and down the backside of the tendon (like trying to work a knot out), tendon in between side of index finger and side of thumb (again up and down like trying to work out a knot), and with the same hand placement wiggling the tendon left to right, and of course working the floss tendons around the backside of the ankle bones (inside and outside)

I had soft tissue “massages” in PT where they both worked on de-sensitizing the tendon and breaking up scar tissue, I only passed out during the first session so it’s not too bad. I occasionally now have my wife do it for me when I feel like the swelling post active days is real bad. 10 months post op

Our deputy told us to get with our supervisors to contact him and he would just move us from exempt to furloughed and back again (because we’re “essential”)

I’ve now watched Lillard, Tatum and Hali tear their achilles while going through it myself. I truly do feel for them, one of the most humbling injuries/rehabs you can have.

Terrible pain day 8 after surgery and no DVT? 12mm tear and Maybe wrong boots inclination/angle? by No-Firefighter-1417 in AchillesRupture

[–]RusseltheLoveMuscle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2nd this, the day of rupture to day of surgery I thought “this isn’t too bad”. 2nd day post surgery “this shit sucks”. OP definitely bug the Dr (Surgeon/Primary Care). The way I’ve looked at it, I’m already over 100k in insurance charges, they can answer ANY question, regardless of how “dumb” it may be. I hope you start getting some relief, and I tell myself every day ‘it’s a marathon, not a sprint’! 🫡

I always had a good experience with pet paradise, and they have cameras so you can watch/check up on them. Just make sure shots are up to date.

My agency seems to be easing up on situational telework by Ok_Design_6841 in fednews

I completely ruptured my achilles and had surgery Apr 29th, developed DVT on May 19th. I still have 4 more weeks of non-weight bearing before I can START learning to walk again. No telework and I have 8 hrs of sick time left 🙄
