JD2016’s AchillesBlog

Unfortunately, these warnings came about 6 months too late for me, but at least there are brave people out there protesting fluoroquinolones in front of the FDA. Maybe, if they keep fighting, we will be able to get some kind of reparations for our pain, but I’m not getting my hopes up too high.

On another positive note, I am walking in my boot without my crutches. My repaired AT is feeling stronger every day. My “good” AT is still feeling sore every now and again, but I am working to try to save it! Thanks to everyone who has commented on my page. This site is awesome!

I walked on the anti-gravity treadmill today! Thank goodness for good physical therapists. I’m making awesome progress and just put my left shoe on for the first time in 15 weeks. I’m actually nervous that things are going too well! The last time I was making such progress, I fell and ended up in a cast again. My biggest fear is that I will tear my right Achilles. I’ve actually been feeling a little bit of strain in the right one. Could I be overworking it with all the hopping on the crutches? Hopefully, I’ve been able to flush the poison of Cipro out of my body. I’ve been eating healthy and taking ionic magnesium every day. Does anyone have any other tips for getting rid of toxins from the body? Or any tips for naturally strengthening tendons?

I just don’t know what I’d do if I tore that other one. Any advice would help.
