Hey Kojak,

Just had my surgery Nov. 3 after dealing with repeated microtears in my achilles since 2010. They would never heal. I can relate to listening to your achilles, but even then, rest sometimes does not heal the issue. I did 2 rounds of PT, PRP, and each time it would be good for 8 months, and then a minor activity would cause it to tear. I had a huge lump on the achilles. MRI revealed that I had an actual mid-grade tear. My body would not heal it…so the knife, debridement, slice my calf, and remove plantatar fasciitis. Sometimes your body needs assistance to heal. So after trying the conservative healing approach, sometimes surgery is necessary…and it make take years to make it apparent, as it was in my case. I was really unaware of how complicated and difficult the surgical route would be. However, my tendonitis was so debilitating that I could hardly walk at times. I am a very active person, going to the gym at least 3 times per week for weightlifting and light cardio. Wishing you the best on a speedy recovery.

Welcome to the club to which you don’t want to belong. It seems like the key question is: are you not having surgery because your other health factors preclude it or are you not having surgery because the protocol in the U.K. (and in many other countries) is to try conservative treatment first and only do surgery if it doesn’t work. There are other forum members here from the U.K. - perhaps they can help you navigate the NHS. Is there an ombudsman or similar person who you can call for help with your medical treatment?

I think the consensus expectation is that one should be able to resume an active lifestyle after 9-12 months with proper treatment. Clearly even your consultant thinks you are not getting proper treatment if they say it will never heal. I hope there is some way for you to be persistent, as it seems like your outcome will be much better if you can change your course of treatment. Good luck to you and keep us posted.
