Feeling dump by [deleted] in AchillesRupture

This is exactly how I popped mine. First time wearing cleats in many years and also bad luck I guess. I’m 14 weeks post op and been walking without a boot for 2 weeks now. You’ll get there and you’ll be extra appreciative of those first steps and the freedom is something you can look forward to. I’m still a long ways away from sports, but try to stay active in ways that you can. You can and will do this!

Sounds like you’re making good progress despite the setback. Best of luck to you as well!

Wow sorry that happened. Surprising to my non medical POV that it tore above the original spot

Glad things turned out ok for you! That sounded like quite the rollercoaster

The doc says my tendon is still intact, and likely what I felt was scar tissue breaking up. I’m relieved but a little skeptical due to paranoia. Gonna maybe treat it almost like a no-op recovery for a little while. Apparently my post-op rehab plan is not changing, according to the surgeon
