My repair in Ireland

All good. Even did Tae Kwon Do for 2 years since with no problems so long as I did a good warm up for my ankles and calves. Only incident of signifigance was this February, I got brave (Vodka was had) and was dancing the same bloody dance that started this when I felt agonising pain in the back of my left leg:-(

Was in a lot of pain and unable to straighten the leg. Made my way to doctor next day who suspected I had pulled the calf muscle and I would need physio in a few days when I would be able to handle the pain of their manipulation. So off I went limping again. I had no swelling or bruising till about day 3 then OMG the whole calf went black and a bit around the achilles repair scar.

Physio confirmed I had a grade 2 tear basically the Achilles repair was so good that the calf muscle almost gave way. Recovery was similar to last few weeks after crutches. Elevate, rest, massage, light stretches gradually doing more strenuous ones with the elastics then off the edge of a step etc.

Its still a bit tender, especially in heels but thank God it wasn’t the achilles again

Ps I don’t know about the rest of ye but my achilles is still thick and undefined compared to my uninjured leg and the scar is still purplish and that area is hard to touch can still be tender  sometimes???
