Life After Double ATR
It has been 2 years and 3 months after surgery for my bilateral achilles tendon rupture. I’m still not 100% and likely I never will be. I suffered great foot pain for the better part of a year after kicking off the boots. To alleviate the pain, I wear shoes or sandals all the time except in bed. But all in all, it is slowly getting better. I wonder if I will ever get the strength back in my calves. I can at least now, if I’m careful, stand on tiptoes without my calves buckling into cramps. I think now I’m about 95% and reflecting on that 6 weeks in a wheelchair followed by 3 weeks in boots has all become a faded memory.
To all of you having gone through or are going through ATR recovery, hang in there and don’t rush your recovery. I found solace in reading and commenting on the blogs on this site and found it very helpful as well. Wishing you all a successful recovery.
