The first week was essentially a feet up exercise where I was mainly occupied with coming to terms with the new reality and researching what to expect over the coming weeks. The hospital hadn’t really given me much in the way of information in [...]

Ruptured Achilles Tendon - Day 1

Posted on February 19th, 2020 by blobsworth

Day 1 - 27/1/20

What happened
I’m 58 but reasonably fit. Most days I’m either running, boot camping, or spinning and occasionally all three in the same day. On this particular morning I’d booked in for a cardio tennis session at the local indoor tennis centre. This was something new for me and I didn’t know what [...]

    Raise awareness of isolation and self-isolation when returning from epidemic areas to limit the spread of covid-19 to the community.

    The article is very easy to understand, detailed and meticulous! I had a lot of harvest after watching this article from you! I find it interesting, your article gave me a new perspective! I have read many other articles on the same topic, but your article convinced me!

    Blob, I asked the surgeon about my lack of pain (not complaining, mind you!) and he put it down to the location of my rupture being closer to the muscle and not the ankle??? I find the boot leaves a bit of a dent in my calf muscle when I have it on and so remove it when at home and my calf muscle relaxes into its normal shape. I’m week 10 living in Surrey, UK

    Hello Scrappy. No, I’ve been fortunate, I’m now at week 7 and still haven’t needed any pain relief. Any pain I’ve suffered has been fleeting. There’s been the occasional sharp pain like someone sticking a pin in and sometimes a cramp like pain, but they’ve never lasted. Other than that the back of my ankle is definitely tender and there’s been the discomfort of wearing the Vacoped boot.

    Did you feel any pain when the injury occurred or since? I am recovering from a total ruptured ATR playing tennis and didn’t have surgery. I would have thought that pain management is associated with the healing process.

    Wow, thanks for the detailed analysis. Im 57, sometimes push too much in pickle ball, and ruptured mine a year ago. I went with surgery. Now Im playing competitively, but my tendon is super thick, and still I dont have the original strength of flexibility. However, I have not been doing my daily exercises for the last two months because I’m ‘good enough’ to do what I want. Still, I will try to exercise more that I have thought about it.
