achilles surgery...
 

Had achilles surgery two days ago. Real fun time. I recommend everyone do it at least once.

Pass.

Great thread, what's there to talk about? After the reading the first reply I'm all out of ideas.

had an FHL transfer. Going to have an awesome scar!

Prayers sent

I will never be able to flex my big toe again. :(

^ How will you get the ladies now?

Have to stay away from the ones with toe fetishes.

Sorry to hear it. Had heel spur surgery July 6.
Had to intentionally cut achilles.
5 weeks in a cast.

Started in class teaching Aug 28. Walking good, can't get on tippy toe on that foot yet. that is what physical therapy is for.

At least you have no where to go today.

rent a knee scooter!!!!!!!

Looks like missionary and bottom-with-anger for a while...

Pussy ;) I will be running again by march. I decide my healing rate not my body.

Wife knows she has to be top until fully healed. :P

You can still pull missionary if you put two pillows under your ankles.

Just saying...

Good thing my wife does not read this site.

I decided I had nothing to work up to except being able to walk around class.
Not much of an athlete anymore.

I'm not a doctor...

I refuse to change my lifestyle.

Good for you, you are lucky. I will have to work up to the jumping, walking fast etc.

We have all seen athletes come back faster than us regular people. You should recover faster too since it sounds like you are in great shape. Age helps too.

Look into the scooter-crutches suck!!!

Whenever I think about a razor blade being slowly and deliberately pushed clean through an Achilles tendon, it gives me the willies.

LMAO

It's like getting married only you don't get the anesthesia...

better than going through the pain of having it snap when I was awake.

I suspect both our experiences were much different...

true. walking was excruciating before the surgery. I am on my feet all day.

marriage-that was easy

i'll pass.
wishing a speedy recovery to you tho.

Yep - completely different...

Visions of Pet Semetary dancing in your head?

Gage is that you??? *slice*

exactly what I thought and of course winced when I thought it...

Why did you have to do that? I'm a little frightened of my left achilles. Been having some pain and tightness. Nothing excruciating but my old body is obviously breaking down there and I'm not sure what is gonna fix that thing. Elevation and ice don't seem to get it done.

This is not as much fun as it sounded in the doctors office. So much pain. :(

I ignored my pain fr almost 3 years.

that ain't no joke, makes me think of the scene from OZ

The other few here who have had Achilles surgery... How long before you were able to walk with the boot and no crutches?

Anyone?

Did you use Suggs' surgeon? The man works miracles.

boot and no crutches. I think 6 weeks. The boot was great.
with crutches at first.

Surgery July 6- no crutches August 20th. But very slow.
had to look it up.

I've got a really really sharp knife. It removed a pecan sized skin tag from my inner thigh :evil: (I can't find the thread about it).


so, needless to say, I'm pretty experienced in surgery. PM me.
Oh, and bring whiskey and something to bite on. (No homo)

Must have. .... I am walking without crutches only 8 daysc after surgery.

4 weeks post surgery and walking without a boot or crutches!

Had hernia surgery on Monday. All surgery sucks big time.

Try this daily for both feet, chances are the other one is on its way to pain.

Also try a rolling pin back and forth under your arches. I do this once daily and my daughter has to as well. Genetic ?? But it has helped tremendously?

Woo Hoo! Full release from doctor only 6 weeks post surgery!

Are you still walking like a penguin, or did they fix that?

I have a slight limp right now so I do kind of waddle when I walk. ;)
