3 weeks post op questions
Hello my name is nick. I am 20 years old and a college athlete. I play lacrosse. I had surgery July 22 for my torn left achilles. I had a few questions. about 7-8 days after surgery i was fitted into a boot (bledsoe) and have been on a boot for about 2 weeks. I am wondering if is too fast or not. My doctor said i am very young and it was very rare for this to happen at my age. anyways i went to the doctor yesterday because i was worried about my incision. turns out he took all the dead skin off and there was a scar I have some type of infection a pic is posted with this post. Based on the picture are my stitches going to fall apart? (dissovable on outside) and i am worried about re rupturing my doctor tells me that i shouldnt worry about that. I have only taken foot out to dry and clean. Just want to know if I am on a ok path. First time having an operation so I dont know what the norm is. thanks for the help!
