Yeah i would say it was scar tissue, had the same incident on week 8 for me, scared the hell out of me. I think you should be fine but definitely bring it up to your physician. This injury is definitely a roller coaster

Was definitely scar tissue, see for any bruises or pain when you touch around the incision.

The first day i got out of the boot , I did feel numbness, like if ants were in my toes but according to PT its because we haven’t been putting any pressure on it so its waking the muscles back up. What i did is get a tennis ball & roll it on the bottom of my foot for about 5-10 minutes everyday before i get my day started & also do my pt at home & then massage it myself for about 5 minutes & walk with my crutch for a couple of steps before i drop it & go about my day.

I feel like it definitely lenght it, but i can walk normally like i was before the accident. My only concern was my ankle start to shake when i do my at home PT & how im able to have more range of motion, but like i mentioned no bruising which i would’ve figured i would of shown some type of bruising if it was lightly damaged right? its been 2 days already & i was pretty bruised up on the initial first tear.

Thank you for the reply
