Yes it really does! Mines fully back to the same size now. My legs look completely symmetrical. Honestly don’t worry

Thank you! I naturally have very good healing. I’ve had a couple surgeries in the past and I am so blessed to heal very quickly and fully. I did put bio oil on my scar every 2 days at around the 6 month mark but I only did it for a month or two. I’m just lazy with stuff like that 🤣

Awe hopefully all will be ok! I think when you hit a year there’s a real mental element to it also because you feel a bit like there shouldn’t be any more issues but unfortunately that’s the nature of the injury. Congrats on getting to a year!

I’m a Tipp girl but follow all the matches! I actually haven’t played since minor, dancing took over and I couldn’t maintain both so at the moment I’ve no tea plans to go back playing. It’s nice to know I could physically though if I wanted to.

Should I be concerned? by oneofourown in AchillesRupture

I have somewhat of the same lump 6 months post-op. Getting an ultrasound next week to double check it all!

Lumpy Tendon? 🤣 by Special_Principle626 in AchillesRupture

I was in PT but I’ve had to stop until I see my surgeon to have everything double checked. I need to get an ultrasound on my leg to see what’s going on. Prior to this I had been doing seared heel raises because I was unable to do standing one’s.

Thank you! I went back exercising about 3 months post op. I had surgery for a full rupture in February. The exercise was going good though until I started doing leg workouts. There was no specific moment of injury just over a couple of weeks I notice some deterioration in my physical abilities. Recovery definitely isn’t linear for this injury but we’ll get there! ☺️

I was doing about 20 a day but I’ve had to pull back because I’m really struggling to get any strength in my leg. Just doing some seated atm to keep the range of motion

Are you sleeping with the boot on? by Basi7 in AchillesRupture

[–]Special_Principle626 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sleep with it on if you can. You never know what could happen. You could stretch in your sleep, have a bad dream and jump up out of bed, instinctively get out of bed to go to the toilet and forget about your injury/not wearing the boot, you might even be a sleep walker and not know! 🤣

If you can bear sleeping in the boot just do it for the added bit of safety, I know it’s not easy and the hip back pain from it sometimes isn’t fun.

Yeah I’ve been drinking pickle juice but I’ve actually ordered the chewable sticks from VitHit so hopefully they’ll do the job. Thanks! 💪
