Good Morning All,
Hope everyones recovering well. I am alittle over 3 weeks post op now I am in a boot but I am no where near 90 degrees. I start pt on Monday and I am wondering how long it takes to get to that point. Right now it seems like I will never get there. Ive been doing toe circles and heel toe points. Any ideas for ROM exercises I can do this weekend? Also should I be applying Ice to my ankle will that help loosen this thing up?
Thanks!!
Alittle over 2 weeks post op
I have been in my boot for a few days now and I am noticing that my scar is bleeding a bit. This is only happening in some very small places where the scabs and dead skin is coming off. I have been puttin neosporin on it as well letting it air out at night. I am a bit conserned as I dont want it to get infected. Has anyone experienced this? should i go back to my doctor?
Just came back from my first post op appointment. They removed my stiches.. the wound looks good and no infection!! Doctor confirmed that it looked good put me in a boot and gave me the ok to start pt on monday. Still no wieght bearing though. The tendon is very stiff but my ROM seems good. It was very interesting to see how many people have this injury granted I live in NYC but there were 3 others in my doctors office with the same injury! Im very excited to be starting the next stage of my healing. Any suggestions for my first few days with the boot?
Hey everyone I am new. I ruptured my achilles May 30 while playing bball I have been reading alot of the posts for the last few days and they have been very helpful. I am currently in a heavily padded splint. I am having my stitches removed on Friday. achilles feels good however in the last few days i have been feeling a lot of tingling down there. No pain just tingling is that normal? I am hoping that my doctor puts me in a boot on friday
