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.

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!!!!!!! |

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.

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. :(

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

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

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