Hi everyone,
Last thursday i got my first cast off (one long cast that covered my whole leg). The doctor took the stitches off (nice looking wound, it’s sligthtly sided inwards so I hope it will not give me any problems with the shoes in the future).
The doctor put another cast (just up to the knee) and I am suposed to wear it until the 3rd of july (no boot for me). If I extend my whole leg and try to dorsiflex a little I can feel the tendon tighten up ( I think that’s a good signal, at least the tendon is now jointed).
The doctor said I’ll be wearing two shoes since the day I get the cast off, and I will begin PT that same day (everything goes faster than I thought, I hope it gets better and better everyday).
The PT told me that I shouldn’t worry about my sport future, he said that in 6 months the tendon would be completly recovered and in about one year I would be a s fit as ever.
Keep recovering buddies!

Two shoes is just weeks away - great news. Sounds like the full leg cast was tough — any cast is hard enough, but all the way up your leg? ugh.
