Achilles tears - no relief. Surgery?

Hello~ 15 weeks ago I injured both tendons while sprinting to catch a plane. Ten years ago I had injured one with a tennis injury. I am 54 years old and have played competitive tennis for over 45 years! (an old lady!) The Surgeon said that I have tears in both tendons and recommended PT which I did for 3 months. No relief - in fact - maybe worse. Have tried ice, heat, anti-inflammatories, electrical stimulation. At this point I have scheduled a followup visit with the Surgeon.

Has anyone had a similar scene? If so do you have any recommendations?

Thank you, Cathleen
