6 months Post-op

Posted on June 6th, 2016 by s40love

6 months post-op this Saturday, and I have been making steady progress.

I have been playing a lot of tennis lately. I feel like I can do anything: run, jump, sprint to get to balls. I have a good push off on my left leg, and can jump off the ground when I am serving.

I did take a half an hour private tennis lesson two weeks ago, because I felt like I had totally lost my winner shots, my timing was completely off. This lesson really helped me. I will probably continue taking weekly lessons to work on my form.

I decided not to enter our 40 year old USTA 4.5+ team this season. I play at a pretty high level (best level in the area for this age group) as a singles player, and since the injury I have not played anyone at a high level to find out where I am at, and also this is a very competitive league and I would hate losing to people I used to beat. I don’t think I am ready yet. I still need maybe two months to get back to the level I was at before.

So I will keep on practicing, play some better players, and I will get back in September when the fall league starts. There is no doubt in my mind: I can get to the level where I once was, or better.

Overall everything is going great. I am stronger than ever. My 5k time is down to 26:16, but I haven’t been running much lately. Need to run more. My time before injury was around 24 minutes.

I still set goals for myself on a spreadsheet, on weekly basis, and try to follow. If I don’t get to a goal, I push it back, but I stay on it.

My Achilles still gets mildly sore at times (but no pain at all), still not normal. Still limp a bit at times after some heavy playing, and my sprint, sometimes I will make short strides if I can’t keep up. I think it will take a full year to get it back to normal. But otherwise, everything is fine and dandy.

I won’t post any more… unless something major happened, or when I feel like I have reached my  pre-injury level. I really feel like this injury is behind me now!!! Thanks everyone, this website has been a God-send, and it gave me so much hope. I wish everyone a safe healing, and don’t ever give up, you can get there!

Happy healing everyone!!!

5 Month Anniversary - Week 22

Posted on May 4th, 2016 by s40love

Today is my 5 month anniversary. Things have been steadily improving, and I am happy with my progress so far.

I have been running every other day since week 19 (outdoors and on the TM). My running gait is better, striking with mid-foot, and it’s 95% close to normal. Yesterday I clocked 27:35 min for a 5k on the treadmill.

This is a few minutes above my running time before my injury, but since I was idle for so long, and have gained a few pounds, I think it’s a decent time for now. As I keep running, I will drop the weight, and improve my aerobic fitness, so the time will drop. The greatest block right now is my lower stamina. My tendon and flexibility are fine and are not an impediment. I am also no longer afraid of re-rupturing as I was before week 19.

I have been working hard at the gym, everyday. I have added squats, dead-lifts and lunges to my strength training in the past month, with some heavier weights, and so far so good. I try to do leg work every other day.

My left leg strength is about 80% of my right leg. So far I have been training both legs at the same time, but now I am going to focus on working the single left leg more than the right, to see if I can get more strength on my left, and get the calf size to even up.

I haven’t played tennis games lately, due to being busy. Only hitting against the wall, and with a partner from the baseline. I played some games at 19 weeks, and I was able to sprint to the net to get to the short balls, and volley from the net. I am also able to run after wide balls. I am hitting the ball harder without much effort, due to my upper body strength training, so that’s one of the silver linings of the injury! I would say I am about 80% at tennis right now.

Next week I will start playing with people I was able to easily beat before my injury, then I will have more of a benchmark to base on.

The injured leg is a little thicker at the injured site, and it has a bump, but it doesn’t look bad. The swelling after heavy exercise has diminished, but it’s still there.

My left leg is still tight… I have been working and stretching so hard, and the tightness and stiffness still remains. I guess this will be a long road. By reading other blogs, it’s possible I will never get that leg to feel normal like my right leg again. All I can do is hope….

4 Month Anniversary - Week 18

Posted on April 4th, 2016 by s40love
Today was my 4 month post-op anniversary so as a gift to myself, I decided to attempt to run a 10 minute mile on the treadmill.
When I saw the display time at 10:05 as I completed the first mile, I wasn’t completely happy, so I decided to go for another mile and pick up my pace.
When I reached the 2 mile mark the display read 19:55, so I decided to shoot for a 5k.  I was able to complete the 5k at 30:45, just under a 10 min a mile pace.
I was very happy that I have accomplished this goal. It was not easy. I had to  make very short strides and wasn’t pushing off with the balls of my  feet, more like with the middle part and heel. And it was pretty scary, in my mind I could re-rupture at any minute. But I kept a very short stride, and tried not to push it too much, and I did it!
I have only been running 1 or 2 miles twice a week or so, and this was over  the top for me. I don’t have the form for running properly yet, unless I do it at a very slow pace, for a short duration.
I have been doing the same things I mentioned in my last post, with an  addition of eccentric heel raises on the stairs (no backpack yet).
The lying leg curl machine does not hurt my calf anymore.
I can now hop 5 to 10 times on the floor on my injured leg. I can hop on the trampoline on a single leg for unlimited time (until I get tired or lose my balance).
I can do single heel raises and hold the raise for 10 seconds, more or less.
I think I have made a lot of progress in the last 2 weeks, and things are looking better everyday. Hard work pays off !!!
Calf still feels stiff or ankle feels lose at times. Sometimes I feel like my ankle is not there, or too lose, but I think this is just part of it. Anybody feels that way too? At times I even forget about it, and this is a good thing. I can’t wait to get to the 8th month when people say that’s when you totally forget about it.
I am pretty confident the 100% recovery will come, just not sure when. For now I will keep posting.
Happy and safe healing to all!!!

Week 16: Hopping

Posted on March 21st, 2016 by s40love

This is a summary of what I have been doing lately.

Tennis

I felt confident enough to be on the court hitting balls the day after I got off my boot for an hour (yes, I’m a junkie, but don’t  recommend anyone doing this).

Since then, I have gone from once a week to hitting almost every day for one hour max.

I don’t go for wide shots and let the ball bounce twice if it’s short.

I avoid loading my left leg on my backhand side, so instead of my regular double handed backhand I use more slices where I load up more on the right leg, and slices are easier when you don’t have a lot of reach. Not the greatest form, but I think this satisfies my craving a little bit, and I won’t be as rusty when I get back to play real games.

Strength Training

I alternate between upper body and lower body days.

I vary exercises quite a bit, but my staple is:

On lower body day:

- Leg Press, Leg Extension, Leg curl, Glutes, Thigh abduction, Thigh adduction, seated calf raises, calf presses, and abs. My calf doesn’t  hurt on the machines, only on the one where you lay on your stomach and pull your legs up (forgot the name of it, hamstring machine?).

On upper body day:

- Chest press, flies, triceps, biceps, rowing, cable pull downs, push ups, core strength (superman, pushups, kickbacks and pulls on bench, lower back), abs, obliques. I use dumbells, barbells, cable, or machine equiment.

Hopping

I just found out my gym has a Step360 bouncing equipment, which is kind of like a mini trampoline. So yesterday I experimented with it for about 10 minutes, did some balancing yoga moves, and did some hops, both two legs and single leg. I can hop on both legs with no problem, but on my left leg, I can hop maybe 4 times before failing. It’s a great little thing, and I will be using it daily. I love the fact that I can hop freely and it absorbs the impact. After I got out of it, I noticed I was walking better, not limping.

After, I usually hop on the ellyptical for 20 minutes.

I think I am ready to start trying squats and lunges this week. I will ask my trainer for guidance on those.

Stretches

Been streching when I can. Not too religious about it, but have been doing it about once a day. At work during boring meetings, I am standing and doing heel raises, calf stretching, etc. My coworkers have been used to me doing this, and they don’t care. They keep asking me, do you want to sit? I say, hell no, I gotta do my stretches! So I love these boring meetings now.

Massage

I asked my lovely hubby a few days ago to do the Graston massage on my heel. And yesterday he surprised me and did it by using the handle of a stainless steel butter knife. He rubbed some E vitamin oil on it, and it was great, not quite as good as the professional one, but I think it helped. I have been neglecting my scar tissue lately but he is going to do this daily on me now!

Week 15

Posted on March 16th, 2016 by s40love

I just wanted to add an update. Nothing super exciting going on.

Since I quit going to the therapist, I have been doing all work on my own and relying on this site for information.

Since it’s been getting warmer, and we have had some beautiful days lately, I have been “hitting” more outside. In additional to my daily mile jogs.

When I started to run yesterday I felt about 5 “electric shock bursts” type pain on my upper calf. I don’t know how to explain it. But it was a place that I had never felt before. So I immediately stopped.

Later I hit a few balls for half an hour. My tendon was pretty swollen yesterday.

So I think I have been overdoing.

I have been reading some rerupture posts lately and that made me very scary. So I am being overly cautious from now on.

Has anyone ever reruptured after 15 weeks after having a surgical procedure done? There are probably cases out there, but I couldn’t find any.

So I am going to take a break from “jogging” on the treadmill and just do the ellyptical instead, and concentrate on stretching and strength.

Here is my “running progress”. Nothing to be proud of. I am going to slow down from now on. Even though I get an itching so bad. No more jogging on the treadmill for a while.

3/4: 1 mile in 16:23

3/5: 1 mile in 16:19

3/6: 1 mile in 16:06

3/8: 1 mile in 15:35

3/9: 1 mile in 15:16

3/10: Walked 4k in about 45min

3/11: 1 mile in 15:06

3/13: 1 mile in 14:28

3/14: 1 mile in 14:19

Week 13

Posted on March 3rd, 2016 by s40love

Here’s my progress during week 13.

My plan now is to add 0.1 mile increases everyday on the treadmill.

Goal is to run a 10 minute mile on April 1st.

I stopped going to the therapist, but keep doing the same exercises recommended by him. I do want to go back though, mainly because of the Graston sessions.

Calf still feels stiff. I wonder how long this is going to last. This whole thing goes so slow it seems like it’s never gonna heal. But I know I must be patient.

I continue working out every day, and once a week with my personal trainer. And hitting some tennis balls (no running yet).

2/26: 1 sec. left heel raise. Unlimited tip toe walking.

2/29: Ellyptical 20 min 2.14miles.

3/1: ellyptical 20 min 2.6 miles.

3/2: ellyptical 10 min 1.42 miles.

3/3: 3 sec. left heel raise.  TM walk/run 1 mile @3.3mph

Good healing, everyone!!!!!

First Post

Posted on February 23rd, 2016 by s40love

I am a 41 year old mother of 3, league tennis player, have a full time desk job where I am mostly sitting.

Never had been injured before. this is my first one, and it hit me hard.

My goal is to get back to normal as fast as I can, run a 5k at the 6 months mark in under 30 minutes (hopefully 25-27), and return to play competitve tennis again. I am doing everything I can to reach that goal (aggressive)

I work out every day, lift weights, do the ellyptical and treadmill (no running yet). I have been lifting weights (upper body) even when I was was in a cast.

I eat healthy, started taking a daily dose of multi-vitamins, calcium, glucosamine & chondroiting supplements. I do physio exercises once or twice a day.

Here’s my progress timeline so far.

Nov. 22 Rupture. Playing tennis (doubles). Did not hear a pop, but felt the tear.

Didn’t go see the doctor right away because I was still hoping it was just a “strain”. After 3 days went to the urgent care doctor, who told me it wasn’t a rupture (so wrong!). So after 10 days of not getting any better, I went to an outpatient center specialized in orthopedics, that did an x-ray and ultrasound, and revealed the ATR. A full rupture, the tendon was hanging by a few fibers.

Week 1
Dec. 4 Surgery. Crutches. Left foot no weight bearing.

Week 2
Dec. 11: Started putting weight on left foot when walking with crutches. Still need support from crutches.
Dec. 16: Doctor appt. Removed cast and stitches. Now on boots with 2 wedges (not 4 as I had thought). Still need crutches but can put some weight on left, especially using the stairs, I can put both feet on

Week 3
Dec. 18: Injured hand, ulnar nerve pinch on the wrist, while walking with crutches, cannot turn car key or write, arms and hands are weak, stopped lifting weights.

Week 4
Dec. 26: Able to walk without crutches (Full Weight Bearing).
Dec. 28: Doctor checkup.
Dec. 31: First day of Physiotherapy scheduled.

Week 5
Jan 2: Started walking on both bare feet (no crutches) with limping. Ditched one crutch, then both.

Week 6
Jan 8: EMG hand results were normal.
Jan 11:Slept without boots.
Jan 12: Started working out again, hand feels normal again.

Week 7
Jan 18: First Wedge Removed.
Jan 21: Walked 0.25 mi

Week 8
Jan 27: Walked 1 mile with boots.

Week 9
Jan 31: Went swimming. Were 2 shoes (for just a day, without clearance from doctor).

Week 10
Feb 5: 2 Shoes (doctor cleared).

Feb 6: Started hitting some tennis balls on the court (no running or chasing balls, just staying in place).

Week 11
Feb 12: Two heel raises.
Feb 17: Going down stairs one foot on each step.

Week 12
Feb 19: 1/2 sec. left heel raise standing on single left foot. Full body weight on left leg for about 5 minutes (still trembling). Walk at 3.4 mph.
Feb 20: Walk on tip toes in shallow water.
Feb 21: Walk on tip toes on the floor (about 20 steps).

  • Stuart | June 6th, 2016 | 2:33 pm

    Well done. Another good example that life can take a turn but still go somewhere. I doubt many people can get back to the same competitve level at 6 months so I think your plan will work out just fine. You may also learn how to play smarter instead of harder.

    Hello,
    I have a question. I am 6 months post op from AT FHL Transfer surgery. I have a arthrex screw and a arthrex suture bridge implanted in my ankle. My only complicaiton from the surgery is pain with these two implants. I was told this would go away in time, and these two implants will dissolve in time. Has anyone had any issues similar to this? Any advice? thank you

  • Brenna | May 7th, 2016 | 1:22 pm

    Thanks for all your posts. I am really inspired. I am seeing my Dr at the 6 week post op this Tuesday and waiting for the weight bearing and physio go ahead. I have been NWB in a boot for the last 3 weeks. Hoping he tells me what I want to hear. Can’t wait to start working out and moving forward.
    Keeping my fingers crossed for positive news!

  • Manny | May 6th, 2016 | 8:11 pm

    Thanks for posting, and congratulations on doing so well, S40love. Tomorrow is my 5th month day, so I guess I’ll have to make a similar write up… Jeez, the pressure! LOL

  • s40love | April 30th, 2016 | 10:32 am

    Hi china… Ha ha… If you are a workout freak like me that will definitely speed up your progress. Whenever you have an ok from your doctor, start doing some leg presses, extension, and curls. Also calf presses on the leg press machine is great too. I usually do 4 sets of 12. Then later you can move on to squats, lunges and deadlifts. I played some games just to see where I was at. I was even able to rush to the net, and volley!!! By the hour end, I was tired and limping though. I am going to try to play some games again on week 22 again. Cheers!!!

  • chinaexpat | April 28th, 2016 | 9:34 pm

    Wow, 4 months and you playing tennis and running! It’s so fun to read that you acctually will be doing that again;) I’m 6 week post and still a long way to go but I’m also a training freak and looking for different ways moving forward.
    Thx for sharing

  • mibball | April 15th, 2016 | 12:06 pm

    Very nice work on your progress. Keep it up. And thanks for sharing. It seems a lot of people on this blog have had ruptures in the first couple months of 2016. Being able to look ahead to other people’s stories is nice.

  • s40love | April 13th, 2016 | 3:52 pm

    Thanks guys for the comments.
    I don’t mean for anyone to get jealous, inspired would be a better
    goal (Thanks @mickeyc!).
    @Loulou, I put a note on your page about fear.
    We can do it, we will all get there eventually!!!
    Btw, yesterday I conquered another fear and ran 6 miles on the TM. My achilles feels a lot stronger now, and I started to train for my 5k in June!

  • Loulou | April 13th, 2016 | 12:04 pm

    Hi…reading your posts are a great motivator of what can be…I’m only slightly jealous that you’re so far ahead. Even tho we had surgery within a couple of days of each other…I was advised not to start physio till 12 wks so now playing catch up. Good luck with the next steps

  • Manny | April 5th, 2016 | 9:32 pm

    Happy 4 months, S40love! You are dangerous, going for a ten min jog and stretching it to 5 miles in 39 min! (I think those are six minute miles). :-)
    You are definitely way ahead of me… I’m envious in a good way! LOL
    Happy healing!…… Manny

  • mickeyc | April 5th, 2016 | 11:18 am

    Very rewarding anniversary present s40love I am sure you are really chuffed with the progress keep it up you are becoming an inspiration to us all, best regards, Mickeyc

  • beanie | March 23rd, 2016 | 3:11 pm

    S40love yes I am still doing the eccentric exercises. From what I’ve read these actually make the achilles stronger and healthier so I’ve added them to my general set of exercises to always do. At 12 weeks my PT had me start them with no extra weight just from tiptoes to floor. Then at 16 weeks I started them on stairs so that I stretched down lower than floor level. And from there I’ve added 2kg to a back pack as soon as I can do all the sets in a row with good form. I do them with 10kg now. Again maybe check with your PT first, but if you’re walking on tiptoes and doing single heel raises already then you should be able to start these and they will be very good for both legs. Good luck and enjoy!

  • s40love | March 23rd, 2016 | 9:12 am

    @beanie: Thanks for your comments, I will try the bosu ball. I also want to try the eccentric exercises with the backpack that you posted a while ago. Are you still doing them? I think I am going to hold off on squats for a while, talked to my trainer, she said it’s better to ask for the doctor’s recommendation, but when I start I will follow your advice.

    @mikeyc: Thanks for the compliment. Williams sisters, wait until I get back ha ha… Have a happy and safe healing!

  • beanie | March 21st, 2016 | 7:24 pm

    Awesome S40love, it sounds like you’re really on top of this rehab and doing great! Your post just makes me want to get out and exercise more! Addicts! :) Stuart also says that a mini-tramp is excellent rehab and he also used it to do 3 jog steps then balance for a few secs on one leg, then 3 more jog steps then balance, etc. I’m sure you’ll find a number of things to do on it. A bosu ball is also great - both sides. Check with your trainer or PT but I think it sounds like you’re ready for starting body weight squats and lunges and both will help you regain strength in hammys and glutes which is very important. Make sure to keep knees behind toes and push through heels to engage the glutes instead of quads. Good luck and keep us posted!

  • mickeyc | March 21st, 2016 | 12:04 pm

    S40Love, you are an inspiration I get tired looking at your workout schedule its something to aim at and be envious….

    You are well on your way to challenging the William’s Sisters, cheers and best wishes… Mickey

  • s40love | March 21st, 2016 | 9:37 am

    Ha ha ha Manny… One hour… You know it!!! You should try the trampoline, it’s really fun!!!

  • Manny | March 21st, 2016 | 9:17 am

    S40Love, you are quite amazing! Hopping? Jeez…
    Playing tennis already (”only one hour” - I think I’ve heard that before, LOL)
    “Not running for long shots” is another one I’ll have to take on trust… your blogs indicate you do things, not the contrary!

    And: hopping and boppin to the Crocodile Rock, (as Elton John would say) Jeez, I got tired just reading your routines! LOL
    You ladies in this blog are really good!
    thanks for sharing!………
    Happy Healing and keep on having fun!…….. Manny

  • Manny | March 4th, 2016 | 12:54 pm

    S40Love, you are doing great! I’m still doing Phys Therapy twice a week, working on balance (I realize it is more a case of my becoming confident of using my tendon than of it handling the task).
    You athletes are awesome!
    Good healing!…… Manny

  • bryanb | February 29th, 2016 | 8:24 pm

    I love it s40love.
    That reminds me of Thomas Muster after his knees were crushed in a car accident, back in the 80’s. There was a great picture of him in a wheelchair on the court, with both his legs in casts, and he was hitting balls. It’s called determination.
    Hope all is well and Heal Strong…!!

  • grannykat | February 25th, 2016 | 8:29 pm

    s40love, welcome and thanks for sharing your great story. Good luck with your goal!

  • metonia | February 25th, 2016 | 6:46 pm

    s40love belated welcome. Your quick recovery scares me, but in a good way too. Fast scares me for increased chances of re-injury but I’ve come to realize we are each different even when we are the same.

    Age, state of health, type of injury, type of surgery or non-surgery, doctors, country, post-op doctor orders and PT exercises.

    But the biggest help I think it just being able to find a place to post ones fears and have someone understand what you are feeling and going through.

  • s40love | February 24th, 2016 | 10:20 am

    manny: thanks for your kind words. I wish you a great speedy recovery. All the best!

  • s40love | February 24th, 2016 | 10:16 am

    beanie: congratulations on your quick progress, and able to return to be your crossfit in 6 months! i will keep following your progress… I guess I didn’t have flexibility issues because my ROM was not as bad. I think that’s why they only gave me 2 heel lifts instead of 4. My ROM is pretty much the same as my right foot right now, but still feels stiff.

  • s40love | February 24th, 2016 | 10:07 am

    bryanb: good to hear from a fellow tennis player… I am such a junkie, that even when I was in a cast, I was taking the balls to the racketball court and practicing serves sitting on a chair. People gave me weird looks, but I didn’t care, some people said that I was inspiring to them…

  • s40love | February 24th, 2016 | 10:01 am

    Thanks for your kind words. I have been reading this site for a while, and the witness from people has inspired me so much, that it made believe that I could achieve good progress too.

    I have been documenting my progress on an excel spreadsheet, so now I just now decided to paste it here, so people can see it and believe that anything is possible if they really put their mind to it.

    Thanks for all the inspiration you guys have given us. I am a firm believer that you can achieve anything if you really believe that you can.

  • bryanb | February 24th, 2016 | 12:27 am

    S40Love,
    Wow…. what an amazing path of recovery so far. You are a true testament to willpower and determination. I too love the game of tennis and actually, that’s where my injury occurred. Like you, I can’t wait to get back on the court. Also, I can’t wait to read about your continued progress. I’m sure it will give everyone inspiration to return to what they love to do.
    Keep up the fantastic recovery.
    Can’t wait to how great you feel when you run…!!

  • beanie | February 23rd, 2016 | 6:08 pm

    S40love I have no doubt that your are going to reach your goal. It sounds like your recovery has gone smoothly and that you are pushing yourself in all the right ways. I am 6 months in and when I read through your progress I can see that you are following a similar path to me and able to do similar things slightly earlier than I did. I’ve struggled quite a lot with flexibility in the ankle, so it took a long time for me to get back enough flexion so that I could do sports, but once I did things just took off. If you don’t have any flexibility issues and you work hard then you could be jogging again by 16 weeks and smashing your 5km goal in 5-6 months. Once I could squat properly again I returned to crossfit (20 weeks) and now 6 weeks later I’ve entered the worldwide crossfit games open that starts this week - I never thought I’d be able to enter this year, but I can do everything again at 6 months. Good luck and all the best … you can do it! :)

  • Manny | February 23rd, 2016 | 12:46 pm

    S40Love, you are amazing! :-D
    Welcome to the group and tribe no one wanted to be an official member of. You certainly are taking the right steps for recovery, and I suggest you check out Bryan, Bobbie and Bonnie’s blogs, since they, and others are also “true grit” athletes. I’m sorry for everyone I forgot to mention, but we have a number of athletes that make me feel tired just by reading their routines (as you just did) LOL
    Good luck, and thanks for posting. You are going much quicker in the recovery timeline than I am, so I can only applaud your efforts! :-D………………. Manny
