Question
Posted on March 30th, 2018 by popouch
I am 17 days post op and I have been going to work all week. Things have been feeling better and I can move my toes and foot around a bit more in the cast. However, I’m worried about re-rupturing my achilles just from flexing my foot and twitching at night while sleeping. Has anyone re-ruptured their achilles at this stage post op?

The cast will limit the motion so you can’t rerupture. I worried about the same thing - LOL! My doc said wiggling the toes/foot is OK while in the cast. Don’t try squeezing the toes (as though you pick something up), but wiggling is OK.
