Wound Healing

Posted on September 2nd, 2009 by ellis

Hi! I am fine now! My wound is healing all right and I’m used to my new foot splint.  But always take it off to get some air.

My first injury was on 18/06 while I’m playing badminton without warm-up exercise.  Doctor told me that I got 30% of tendon intact but surgery was a option with less chance of re-rupture.  So I chose to have the operation.  After that I wore a cast for 4 weeks and changed to another up-right cast for 3 more weeks. 

 On 10/08, the cast was taken off and doctor said that I could try full weight  exercise.  So I put on my shoes and walked.  I walked quit good and I even thought that I could back to work within one month.  Maybe I walked too far or too hard, I hurt my achilles again on 18/08.

That’s all my story.  I hope nobody follow!

Good Luck!                                           

Ellis.

    Dang that sucks, sorry to hear about your bad luck. I’m totally freaked that something like that might happen to me as well. The best you can do is just try to take care of it which ever way the doctor says and do it again. Best wishes, we’re praying for you!

    I totally sympathize with you…. how long have you been in cast before the re-rupture?
    Maybe the skin break down was an indication that things were not healing well?
    Hope you will heal well finally. Good luck!

    Thank you for your encouragements!
    Nowadays, I keep immobilize my left ankle and start dressing my wound daily. It seems better when I air the wound, no more bleeding and no pus at all. Things are going all right!

    I’ve been there! I re-ruptured 5 weeks post-op after my first ATR. I’m now almost 16weeks post ATR #1 and 8 1/2 weeks post-op on ATR #2. Yes it does suck, but make the best of it and time will go by faster!

    Hope everything heals up nicely this time around!

    Oh no! I feel so badly for you. Try to keep your spirits up, although I know it will be hard.

    Oh that’s awful. So sorry for you.
    Try and keep your spirits up, but don’t be afraid to have a moan on your blog here.
    Best wishes for a renewed recovery.
