6 weeks post injury (no news is good news?)

I have an appointment with my doc on Tuesday. The last time we spoke, which was close to a month ago, he advised me that I could go full weight bearing on the Cam boot, which I had been doing anyway.

Since my last update, nothing has changed. My pain level is basically zero, but I continue to follow the same routine, nothing more. No physical therapy yet, as my doc has not advised it. This morning, I walked around the apartment without the boot and also experienced no pain, but i didn’t put much pressure on my injured leg, nor did I flex my foot, so it was basically a non-event.

I spent all last weekend walking around the city with my wife and newborn son. It felt great. I felt soreness in my heel from the boot, but other than that, no discomfort or pain.

If anyone is following - my aggressive treatment has not disappointed me thus far. No setbacks or anything detrimental as a result of going FWB right out of the gate.

And casegreen1’s doing this aggressive treatment withOUT surgery, unlike doug53 and others who’ve “pushed it” with the help of some sutures. . .

Continued good luck!

I’ll be 7 weeks post surgery tomorrow and it sounds like you and I are on the same schedule. I have been walking in the boot for the past 2 weeks or so and yesterday I put a pair of my running shoes on and walked (not fast) without the boot. I felt awesome. My tendon is tight, which I expected but I have no pain, just like you. I havent started PT yet either, and my appt is next week at the surgeons. I’m thinking ‘two thumbs up’….so far, so good!!
