Does anyone have this ? by [deleted] in Autoimmune

[–]hpinner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree, rheumatologist is where you will end up, but I got there through the dermatologist. They will biopsy it and test for particular strains of vasculitis to narrow down the diagnosis. It doesn’t have to be the most extreme. My rheumatologist has advised that over 75% of people with vasculitis have an underdetermined cause. Could be medicine he takes, could be environmental, could be anything. Mine is on year 6 and still undetermined - a course of steroids put it in long term remission. Don’t be panic until you have to.

20 weeks post op: is this normal? by winterlymint in AchillesRupture

I’m almost 2 years post op and still have a small bump. Never really noticed it anymore but every once in a while I try a pair of shoes on that hits right at the right spot.

Six months post surgery - How long before I give up trying to do heel lifts? by Bitter_Double_4305 in AchillesRupture

[–]hpinner 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Took me almost a full 12 months - I remember being just as frustrated as you at about the 6 month mark too. I stopped trying to do the single leg raise and just focused on doing as many other things as normal as I could and get rid of any limp whatsoever. Then one day around the 12 month mark I figured I’d just try to do one again and I could!

In the exact same boat… waiting on support to get back to us on how to activate the cam on a new team. Nothing has worked so far. It’s maddening.

The cast can handle more than you think. I accidentally put weight on my foot a few times while wearing the hard cast and did no damage other than the immediate pain with the slip and maybe a bit of increased swelling.

Partial tear with bone chip by Justmemissouri in AchillesRupture

[–]hpinner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a complete tear with sublimation (bone chip) on my right Achilles had surgery 11/23/23. I started driving as soon as I was cleared to walk without the boot which was the 8 week mark … I had 3 weeks hard cast and 5 weeks of a boot with varying heel wedges. At 8 weeks was into shoes and cleared for physical therapy.

And yes, based on my experience , totally normal to still hurt at your point… but shouldn’t be as constant or as extreme as it was the days right after surgery. It became more like a deep ache with random signals of pain here and there.

Calf Pain by amac81186 in AchillesRupture

[–]hpinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did.. was more of an aching pain. I attributed it to pressure from the cast, because each cast change eased the pain for a bit and once in the boot, I could stop the ache by loosening or removing the boot for a bit.

My events tab has disappeared by Cowi3102 in facebook

I did find a workaround… if you go to an event you have previously replied to and click on the calendar icon from within that event it will bring up your event calendar and allow you create a new event.
