8 weeks post-op.. went back to MMA class, shaking the rust off
I went to my MMA class today for the first time since surgery. It has been exactly 8 weeks since my surgery. I wore a compression sock and tennis shoes. It felt GREAT to move around, hit the heavy bag and throw some kicks again. I am able to kick with both legs, but I am taking it very easy as I do not want to put too much strain or any sort of pivot action on my recovering tendon. I was able to move around the bag and do some lite bag work for 30 min before my heel got sore and I needed a break. I still got a long way to go, but im heading in the right direction. Any thoughts when the heel pain will subside.?
I also found out that boots including my newly purchased work boots actually give me more of a limp than tennis shoes…. in bare feet or tennis shoes I have a slight limp, with my work boots on, I walk like I have one leg longer than the other?? lol its weird.

Maybe somewhere between very impressive and scary!
Uh, scary! Sheesh, I was babying my foot at 8 weeks and there’s no way I could imagine going back to class. Holy cow. Be careful!
