I was very pleased with almost everything (communication skills could be alot better and the pysio department did not gain my trust that they knew what they were doing). I am recovering fairly well - the last transition in my boot from 7.5 to 0 degrees caused a little adjustment in walking, but after a week its much better. Hope you are hanging in there - recovered enough to get back to Takraw yet? hi karen - my surgery was at Bumrungrad - how about you?

I live in Thailand and ruptured my achilles 14 weeks ago i am in physio now, it was a very nasty break and healing process has been very long and drawn out. sorry to hear about your incident at BKK airport, just out of interest where did you have your operation ? and how are you recovering now.

It is amazing the different ways people are injured but yours is a good one!!! I was just walking when it happened to me. Keep checking this site, any questions, check on the side bar, Dennis usually puts interesting questions and answers on there. If in doubt, ask, somebody will come up with an answer from experiencing a similar problem. Good luck with your progress Annie Welcome to our site, you will need the advice, humour and encouragement that everyone on here gives to each other.

There was a metal piece right at the height of my (you guessed it) Achilles. Not super painful, but definitely blood spillage and i felt that something was awry. The next day it was declared ruptured and I was able to have surgery that day. All this has led me here.
