interesting! where did you get this idea?
I’m with you! I am about the same in weeks - about 20. I can walk pretty well, but very stiff and sore in the morning and pretty done by evening. My ‘good’ tendon hurts more than my bad one at times and it really worries me. I have not tired to run yet - I am too scared. I plan to see my Doc soon for a follow up and see what he says. Good luck and don’t push too hard. There are enough re-rupture stories out there to keep me cautious!
univofpittbull looks awesome, but don’t let that be a reason to get down on yourself. Sounds like you’re doing pretty good yourself… Everyone heals at their own pace, and you’ll get there too.
Watch out for kryptonite kerbs 
It definitely depends on your doctor. I went into the boot at 10 days post-op (May 6) and was fully weight bearing on it a week later. But here I am 8 weeks post-op, and there’s been no mention of when I can get out of this thing. My PT thinks my surgeon takes most of his patients out at about 12 weeks, I’m hoping for sooner. Now that you’re out though, you can start with some very gentle ROM exercises (circles, flexing and pointing, writing the alphabet with your toe etc). Just helps to get things moving again, and feels pretty great.
I appreciate it- good look finding out about your F^$K mishap, hopefully you just stretched it real good and there’s no damage. Take care-
Glad you’re out of your cast, I spent 6 weeks in casts and I am now 4 weeks in an air cast boot, walking pretty much without a crutch. I think I have another 3 weeks in it. Like my physio said be patient, a few weeks in this will be better in the long run. I started doing single leg heel raises at 10 weeks (taking some weight in my arms) my leg feels good, but it’s getting the strength in all the muscles and tendons as well now. hang in there. there seems to be some many different time periods for different people. Just don’t do too much too soon.
Good luck with it all.

Next Thursday- not looking forward to it. I have been at work all day today and haven’t put the boot on yet. I’m at the office sitting down so I’m trying to stretch the “naked” ankle as much as I can. I’d like to loosen it up as much as I can before therapy- gonna hurt…
yea I put my crutches in storage closet, hope to never use them again!! You start PT yet?
When they took my cast off Thursday, Doc told me to try to begin putting weight on it- if I could. No pain walking in the boot. Walked out of the Doc’s office and threw the crutches in the back of the truck- hope they rot back there!!! I was shocked- my incision is side to side, not up and down like I expected.
Man they made you stay in the cast quite a long time! Have you started walking yet without crutches? I have been walking in my boot for almost a week, start PT in about a week, and hope to be out of my boot in about 3-4 weeks. I am 4 wks and 4 days post op so that will put me at about 8 weeks when I hope to ditch boot. I have heard people doing light jogging at around the 12 week mark at the earliest.
