    Hi Kimbalee,

    Get that checked out, doesn’t sound right to me. Cannot imagine why they would do that.

    The big toenail on my ATR foot has a notch in it where it is paper thin. I noticed this area about 4 weeks post op. It’s starting to grow out thicker with use of the foot. I’ve had toenails fall off after long hikes or running a marathon (that was years ago). The way I look at it is ‘look how smart my body is, it’s taking all that collagen and instead of sending it to my toenail, it’s diverting the supply to heal my tendon!’

    Toenails came off? Were they loose before? Any tingling in feet or bad circulation? I’d probably check with GP just in case, haven’t had that happen.

    Gidday Kim, from Northern Beaches in Sydney!

    If you’re good about staying in bed with your leg elevated and your wound heals faster you might not need to be in cast for 8wks. At 2wks PostOp I went to fiberglass cast which was so much lighter. I’m at 4wks now and in boot. My original estimate was 8wks in cast.

    You’ll get the hang of crutches, the first couple of weeks are always the worst.
