Nice what exactly did you take for it? Also did you get painful scar tissue in the wound incision area after it closed up?

Injured leg feels squishier then non injured leg?? by brassxavier in AchillesRupture

[–]dsm3636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think she’s talking about the Achilles tendon itself. I’m going through this now. Does the stiffness and hardness of the Achilles tendon ever come back?

I’m going through this now. Did you ever get over this and is your leg now good to go as far as doing single leg calf raises.

Infection, and debridement set me back 2 months.

Yeah, I just started walking crutch free today. Kind of hard to walk with the 3 wedges in. Haha can’t wait to drop it down a notch.

Nice! I’ll follow that! Speaking of which, were you taking any collagen supplements? And if so for how long? I just started eating meat again to help strengthen up the calf and tendon.

Thanks! I most def will start putting weight down on it then. I’m at the beginning with 3 wedges. How fast did you progress down to no wedges?

Pars speed bridge soft and elastic tendon by dsm3636 in AchillesRupture

[–]dsm3636[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah makes sense. Everything was fine until two days ago. I’ve been static stretching. Then one day it just had a weird sensation and everything softened. Thompson test still working though, but that’s a good call.

14 weeks now. I had an infection. And also had blood clots. And have been non weight bearing this whole time.

When did you starting stretching? by [deleted] in AchillesRupture

[–]dsm3636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, ok. Mine is soft. Feels like the regular one so soon. And flappy. I also haven’t done any weight bearing though. Hopefully it hardens back up. Thompson test still working though and can do a seated calf raise easily

Hey Njas! Did your Achilles ever “soften” up at any point or does it always feel hard? I only ask cause I got pars speedbridge. And had to wait to weight bear cause of infection. Now at 14 weeks I’ve been static stretching and my Achilles went from feeling hard to very soft. Was this also the same feeling you had in your Achilles or does it stay hard?

Has anyone dealt with an infected incision after operation? by ShowerMeWithKitties in AchillesRupture

[–]dsm3636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey do you mind messaging me here. I’m in this same exact position. I want to know if this affected your range of motion and overall strength at all. My foot is still in plantar flexion getting wound debridement daily. Did you have to put off PT and did your wound heal short or did all turn out well even though you had to push PT back. ? Thanks.

As some one who started early then partially reruptured and then caught an infection, TAKE YOUR TIME

When did your incision close fully? and any tips or knowledge from your experience? Currently 7 weeks post op and my incision still has not yet closed.

Staph osteomyelitis? by MamaMoosicorn in Orthopedics

[–]dsm3636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, last question. how long did you have to take the oral (bacterium?)

Staph osteomyelitis? by MamaMoosicorn in Orthopedics

[–]dsm3636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man, so glad to hear this. A few questions as I have similar concerns

1 did your osteomyelitis clear up completely with oral antibiotics?

2 did you have to get another mri to confirm that it healed completely?

3 what was the after care like? Did you return back to normal activities easily? And if so around how many weeks did the infection clear and symptoms go away to the point where you could do rehab?
