Add me to team rupture!
Posted on February 3rd, 2009 by abenergy
Hi all!
Just found out I have a Achilles rupture - need to determine how bad so am doing a follow up.
Mine occurred on vacation playing Tennis in Maui. Staying positive, but originally felt sorry for myself. I am thinking this blog is a good venue to track my experience and to share with others.

Hi Abenergy,
It’s a long road back, but there’s plenty of company.

abenergy - Sorry to hear that you’ve had an ACL rupture. Keep us posted on your progress. Are you going the surgery route?
Thanks both you…I find out more of my options hopefully by this Friday! I will let you know how it goes and what they suggest!
Hello,
I’ve had 3 ACL ruptures( all in the same knee I hasten to add) so I know what you’re going through - its a bugger of an injury on a par with the dreaded Achilles.
Technology has moved on a bit since I had my surgery so I’ll be v interested to hear what the Doc has planned for you.

Hope that was on the last day of your vacation & you were able to enjoy Maui before it happened! Keep us posted! Lots of good info here as well as others to go thru it with you. Good luck!
Indeed it is. Please continue to share your progress. All the best!
TONS of valuable info here. I recommend spending some time at this site prior to doc’s visits. i know i felt very informed going into the surgical consult. My surgeon might not have liked it, but it definatly helped. good luck!
