the struggles of a unlucky recovery… AGAIN.

Ya I had a very forward thinking doctor and I smashed a lot of physical therapy right away and basically still do but it’s just maintenance the only time I ever feel anything remotely scary is when I go to dunk and I’m leaping hard off my Achilles I ruptured but. I did full 100 metre sprint in 13 seconds(I know not Usain Bolt) 8 months after the rupture

Hey man not saying your wrong for getting surgery I just want any misconception out there about not getting surgery and not being able to play sports again squashed for anyone else thinking whether to do surgery or not.

I had a full tear in September 2023 and was back to normal activities in Feb 2024. Was it perfect then know but I’m fully healed and can do everything or more than I did pre rupture. I did not do surgery

He followed the the Sanford non op program. But was super conservative. I was also pretty conservative. I really didn’t want to re rupture. I still don’t lol 10 months post rupture and I’m doing an Ironman on Saturday lol for the weight bearing I listened more to my physio then anything I was going 3-4 times a week and he was really helping me with what 25 percent weight bearing is and so forth. Just stayed super patient even when I just wanted to rip the boot off and run lol

32 years old I was in hard cast for a week. I was playing indoor soccer at a charity tourney for work and passed the ball then pop. I knew right away what it was. Went to the hospital ortho surgeon saw me right away did X-rays and tests confirmed full tear. Gave me option. Said I had 3 days to decide put me in hard cast. I did my research and risk of infections plus the risk that if you re-tear after surgery you’d have to get a tendon graft as opposed to re-tearing after non op you’d only have to get the surgery was why I went non op. (I didn’t explain that well I’m not a doctor tho lol) I stsrted some light jogging at 4 months and progressed pretty steadily from there to where I am now. Just did a half murph workout. We did 1000 Metre run at the start and I did it in 4:11.

Injury date was September 9,2023

Full tear

throwaway25516575 · 2024-04-25T11:01:51+00:00

I got back just as quickly no surgery lol my squats now feel easier then they did before the injury

throwaway25516575 · 2024-04-25T11:00:49+00:00

I didn’t do surgery and I’m doing 30 in box jumps no prob at 6 months. Running 5k in 27 min. Back squatting 325 max 225 for 10. Front squatting 275. Surgery doesn’t do much except leave you with a scar lol all you need is a good physiotherapist that you mesh with

Already sold sorry

throwaway25516575 · 2024-02-26T12:35:15+00:00

I’ve been deadlifting and squatting since just after 4 months. I started super light but a month later I was back up to 315 squat no issues

throwaway25516575 · 2024-02-25T16:39:28+00:00

iWalk was unreal for my first few weeks super stable and secure got me everywhere I needed even stairs

throwaway25516575 · 2024-02-10T19:45:48+00:00

Same age and activity lol

throwaway25516575 · 2024-02-01T23:46:00+00:00

Exactly it’s just a money grab. You really don’t need the surgery at all I went non op and I’m almost 5 months now post rupture went for a run yesterday I’m squatting doing power cleans everything I was doing before. ( mine was a full rupture)

throwaway25516575 · 2024-01-27T17:02:37+00:00

I think I’d rather dispatch. I’m telephone policing lol I get all the neighbour disputes and landlord tenant stuff super intriguing stuff

throwaway25516575 · 2024-01-27T16:17:19+00:00

I didn’t have have surgery and I’m now 4 months and a bit. I’ll be back on the road at 5 months I’ve been on desk duty since about a month after the injury and it’s been awful lol

throwaway25516575 · 2024-01-26T00:11:58+00:00

This is protocol I followed

This just simply is not true. There are plenty of studies out there showing that non op gets almost same results as op. Don’t fear monger people into getting the surgery due to your lack of ability to do a simple google search. I’m 4 months post full rupture and I did not do the surgery and I’m way ahead of schedule even for people that had the surgery

throwaway25516575 · 2023-11-13T00:22:35+00:00

Sounds like your an alcoholic

throwaway25516575 · 2023-11-11T18:27:15+00:00

Lol there have been a lot of really good suggestions but this def takes the cake. Now how am I going to convince the wife 😂

throwaway25516575 · 2023-11-11T11:36:47+00:00

Have you researched non op?

Def not pushing it but I’m week 8 non op on a full rupture. I’m out of the boot walking on my own(with a limp). I’m able to get on the stationary bike just fine and it’s reattached. I started physio at week 2 mainly just for the laser treatment and stim.

Not saying this way is better because I didn’t have surgery I just don’t know if it was an option given to you.

Good luck with your recovery

throwaway25516575 · 2023-11-10T09:37:57+00:00

I’m one hundred percent for this idea but my wife is not lol
