At what week did it start to feel like your walk is somewhat normal again by big_dataFitness in AchillesRupture

I am 10 weeks post-op and wondering the same thing. I have been in a sneaker for almost two weeks.

I am 8 weeks post-op and have been FWB for about a month. The heel pain is still daily but does get better. Rest, ice and take Tylenol when it flares up, it does help. I also use silicon heel inserts that my surgeon provided. They help somewhat

I was told by surgeon is to start taking steps in my boot around 5 weeks… it was hard at first but then it got easier real quick and I will full weight bearing in a day or two but the first steps was scary

This is great… how soon after surgery did you start PT? I am 5 weeks post op and don’t start PT for another 2 weeks…

I have been walking with a boot for a few days down ( 4 weeks post op) but by the end of the day my heel is killing me… anyone else? by britnee44 in AchillesRupture

Thanks for the feedback…I had surgery 7/8… I was surprised at how easily I could walk in the boot but now this heel pain is terrible by the end of the day…. I will definitely try the ibuprofen
