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.
