Hi,
I have found this blog, while searching for information on the internet. I would like to say hi to everybody suffering from ATR and in recovery period. I am an amateur bodybuilder, 188cm (6′ 3”) 107kg (240lbs.). Here is my story…
I have ruptured my right achilles tendon on wednesday 21st at 8.00pm while playing soccer. I play soccer since I was a kid. I was playing every week for a couple of years. 6 months ago I had broken both of my toe nails and I made break. This match was my third after the return. It happened within the last 5 minutes of the game, so I was warm enough. I was running, I felt like somebody hit me. When I found out that nobody was behind, I understood that there is something wrong with my achilles. I took out my sock immidiately to check, and realized the gap, and faced with the truth. I was about to faint because of fear, but there was almost no pain. I didn’t even contacted the calf muscle. I sit for a couple of minutes and drink a glass of water to calm down. I asked on of my friends to take me to the hospital immidiately. The first doctor said it was probably a partial tear, because I was able to control my feet very slightly and apply some power. I wanted to believe him and think positive, but I was thinking of the gap. The second doctor who I think more experieced checked my tendon and said that it is a complete rupture, the slight movement and power is applied with toe tendons. At that moment I knew that I would need a surgery. I had MRI scan to see the exact situation. Now I was waiting for the surgery…
