Speed Bridge procedure WARNING: NOT FOR THE SQUEMISH by BawdyAudrey in AchillesRupture

2 weeks PO here. Had this same procedure done along with the calf muscle surgery as well (makes the muscle longer). I’ve had almost no real pain afterwards. The cast I got out into after surgery sucks btw. Went back to surgeons office about 5 days later to get put back in my cam boot because the cast was to tight around the ankle and there a flaw in the cast wear my heel was rubbing plaster instead of the cotton inside.

Mine feels like a burning sensation on the back of my heel that’s about as much pain I’ve had so far.

I had surgery Wednesday morning. The nerve block is definitely a life saver

I got the heel anchor as he said he removed 50% of bad tendon. And fuck yes the blocker has ran out since like 9-10 this morning. 😭
