A potential warning - two days before my re-rupture I had the worst cramp of my life in that calf. It is very possible it was a contributing factor. The muscles are very close and my new rupture was high above the original repair. Be very careful if you are getting any cramps. I purchased some OTC Leg Cramp pills by Hylands. That same cramp has been simmering in that calf again.

Thanks for the heads up! I got a pretty good leg cram the other noght! I was prone to them before all of this. Do you take the OTC pills as a supplement or when you get the cramp?
Thanks again,

I had some god-awful cramps right after the injury. Perhaps the worst pain I have ever felt. None for a few days now. Surgery is next week.
My question is this - what in the heck do you do if you cramp while in a cast and can’t flex the foot back and forth to try to work it out?

Tom:
After surgery I don’t think you should be cramping like before surgery. I would assume the cramp has something to do with the calf muscle not having anything pulling it down.
Hang in there my friend.
