Well I have been walking with my boot for about 2 weeks. I had a Dr. visit this week he said, “I usually tell people to ditch the crutches but you are walking so, I guess that’s out”. He then said in couple weeks when I feel comfortable to go into shoes, he said around 10-12 weeks from surgery. I guess the tendon is fully healed at that point. He said no PT unless I really I wanted it. I said no thanks, I have been seeing my sports chiro for a few weeks. The chiro is kicking my butt. He doing Graston massage (that really helps scar tissue), Active release on the tendon, laser treatment and russian stem for calf atrohpy. I am seeing him once a week and it is really helping. The Dr. liked that and further stressed PT was not necessary due to the chiro visits. Lastly the Dr. said to do stationary bike in sneakers and also to do heel raises (putting most of the weight on the good foot). I have trying it and I am putting a little more weight everyday. ( i really mean a little weight)
I went to the gym and did the stationary bike for 20 min. I am trying to go everyother day, I need to work out!! I forget how important it is for me to get a good cardio sweat, it really helps me out mentally. This laying around crap kills me. I was glad to hit the gym and get my heart rate upto 130 (watch out) on the bike.
All in all it is going pretty good. Can’t wait for shoes!!
Thanks to everyone who posts it always helps.
