These products raise questions and concerns for many consumers. And if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you might have even more questions about whether these products are safe for you.

This is a great thing, I think everyone feels this information is very valuable, thank you

Curious how you’re coming along since this update?! I’m pretty much at the exact spot you are now and extremely frustrated with the amount of scar tissue / stiffness I have. I’ve recommitted myself to PT, personal massages, constant stretching, and eliminated all dynamic activity for the next month. Right now I have a 1.5″ brick on my tendon, you give me hope I’ll be able to feel a cats belly soon

Your article is very good, I have read many articles but I am really impressed with your posts. Thank you, I will review this article. To know about me, try talking to me.

Glad to see you are making progress! So far I have had a pretty similar experience getting back into activities. I too try to massage the tendon and stretch as much as possible and it seems to help.

I have read your article, it’s very informative and helpful for me. I admire the valuable information you provide in your articles. Thank you for posting it.

Great article. It helps a lot for my work. Thanks for sharing these effective and helpful ways.

This is a good and engaging topic. I enjoyed reading this article. I am waiting for new updates from you.

I read this article. I think you put a lot of effort into creating this article. I appreciate your work. abfi write great.

I will often visit your shared articles, I hope to work with you.

You’ve written nice post, I am gonna bookmark this page, thanks for info. I actually appreciate your own position and I will be sure to come back here. Thanks.

After looking at a handful of the blog articles on your web site, I truly appreciate your technique of writing a blog. I book marked it to my bookmark website list and will be checking back in the near future. Take a look at my web site as well and let me know what you think.

I have almost the same story from a few months before you! Ruptured during a regular volleyball game, nothing exciting happening. And I’ve played for years on weekends with no problem.

I totally understand your fears. What has helped me a lot was passing a volleyball to my therapist during PT sessions so I felt safe enough to play again. My PT says it’s good for the mind to do things you did “before” — and in this case, I don’t have pain when we play (although after I’m sometimes sore if I’ve jumped around etc).

Hang in!

Your rehab routine sounds more comprehensive than mine, but I would also recommend heel lifts in the water. That can be an easy way to strengthen it without doing too much. At first, I could only do a single heel lift in 5 feet of water! Eventually worked down to 1.5 feet of water, and then I was out of the pool. I also did power walking, backwards and forwards, and hopping in a warm pool. I was told I could play after I could do 5 single heel lifts. (Pickleball)

Sweet! Congrats!!

Im 11 months out now, but it took me about 6 months before walking normally, I normally dont walk. But I was playing pickleball pretty well at 5 months, 57 y/o. My injured left calf will probably always be smaller, and maybe another year before really equal with my good leg, IF I continue to exercise it. I dont really NEED it to be stronger, just it would be nice to be more balanced.
I warm up 5 to 10 minutes before playing, and then I am not worried about a rerupture (I did do the surgical route).
Dont worry, but elevate and relax, not just exercising. But stretch every day, including the back against the wall and lower yourself by bending your knees. But a little at a time. Good luck!

I had a full rupture in mid July and surgery on July 26th. i’m now 20 weeks post op. 58 year old male, I’m fit and active so like you, this was a pretty big blow to my daily routine esp. since i’m retired and had really been enjoying daily sports activities. While in the boot, I got back in the gym as soon as I could to keep my upper body strength. Was out of the boot 12 weeks post op, so have been walking in shoes for 8 weeks. I try to walk 2-3 miles min each day (rain gets in the way sometimes). Had my last PT today and surprised myself by knocking out 15 single leg calf raises (they weren’t pretty, but the PT said they counted!). My flexibility is back to normal, but getting to full strength is still in the distant future. Lots of exercises to do everyday. Trying not to push it - and I stop if something hurts. My doc thinks I’ll be back playing pickleball and tennis (taking it easy) 6 months post op. Probably will be 12-18 months before I’m back to normal. Everybody’s different, but have faith, it will come. Listen to your body and try to keep at it everyday. Good luck!

If you’re not walking normal yet then reduce the length of your stride so you do walk normally with no limp. If you’re limping it is because your calf/achilles aren’t strong enough yet to push off that hard. Reduce the length of your stride until your walk is normal. Focus on a normal stride, not on normal stride length. As your foot/leg becomes stronger your stride will get longer. I’m quite surprised your doc said you would be running in a month! S/he shouldn’t assume you’ll be ready for anything in a month. Progress from this injury is very different for everyone. I had achilles surgery on my right leg and was back playing soccer in 6 months. I had the same surgery on my left leg and am at 1.333 years and still not playing soccer. So even for the same person recovery is not the same. If you’re not doing 1 footed calf raises in a month I don’t recommend running. If the strength isn’t there and you push it you can end up with stress fractures. Check out junebug’s last post … My delay was caused by an inflamed bone (which will end up with a stress fracture if you keep pushing it). My doc said that is caused by doing

Thanks for the recs, I’ll definitely check her out! I didn’t even know there was a FB page, but I’ll stay skeptical - I don’t know if this is good or bad but I started seeing 2 Physical therapists because they both have very good but different PT methods.

I am right behind you at 9 weeks {non-op, flat in boot, 70 y/o). If you haven’t already, take a look at Agnes’s blog (http://achillesblog.com/agnesatr/). One of the best. I can recommend several others if you want.

Also, if you start following the Achilles Facebook page, be careful. A lot of that info is legit, but some of it looks malevolent to me. You can post your question about single calf raises on the Facebook page, but take the replies with a grain of salt.

Good luck!
