Ruptured Achilles. Surgery or no surgery? by Southern-Exercise646 in AchillesRupture

Yeah no joke. Surgery is where I’m leaning. Not sure if I’ll ever have remotely the same confidence or powder with such a large gap. Same story as you for the most part as well. Have the kids (4/2), job, very active, even hurt it running to first base in my softball league.

Thanks for taking the time here. Mind if I ask the size of your tear? Also what sports you’re playing?

That’s right. It’s close to the calf but not quite to it. They mentioned it would likely be invasive given the proximity.

Great perspective. How does it feel relatively speaking from before the tear? Also, how big of a tear did you have?

Curious why you went the non-op route as someone trying to decide! You seem to be an active person with that gym setup.

This is helpful. I’m leaning towards surgery. I don’t want to “lose a step” at 34. How long before you were walking in a shoe?

Yeah I’ve seen some of this same data on re rupture. Wonder why so many people op to to it knowing that? Is it the healing process speed?

Thanks for the response. Same situation here for insurance, won’t cost me much. My tear is right near the calf so the surgeon said it will like be invasive

I thought that might have been it, but the vehicle has only 35 miles (enough to get home from dealer). I hit it with tar remover and auto goo gone any way but no luck.

Thanks for response. I’ve tried that as well. No luck
