6 WEEKS AFTER ACHILLES TENDON REPAIR

[@andrewvasquez3342]

One year ago today i tore my achilles, i remember watching this video feeling Discouraged and feeling like i would never make it to this stage. Now im back 100% running playin ball gym everything praise God! I went through some depression thinking i wont be the same so who ever needs to hear this just know you WILL be back to 100% stay strong

[@hemantsingh4281]

Thankyou ❤

[@alwaysreturnNurgirl]

I'm glad your back man, this injury just fills me with sadness...its a long road ahead as I'm only 3 days in. Glad your doing great though

[@andrewvasquez3342]

@@alwaysreturnNurgirl trust me i was there watching these vids so depressed thinking i cant even imagine me walking again and if so not walking normal but 7mo out i was running and now im 13 mo out im playin ball and jumping u name it.. i promise u will be there

[@alwaysreturnNurgirl]

@@andrewvasquez3342 appreciate the words of wisdom, and the love. Its very difficult mentally and physically...its sad sitting in a bed all day, every day...nearly impossible to sit down on the toilet, body gets sore from using the other side, can't do a single thing for yourself is perhaps the toughest thing too...but you went through it, and I'm glad you made a final recovery...its just a really overwhelming feeling I suppose...its a long road, but I'm going forward man. Ps when we're you first able to walk around your house and climb stairs again?

[@andrewvasquez3342]

@@alwaysreturnNurgirl about 2mo after but with my boot on , i get it man crutches hurt and ur hips get thrown off.. i give you my word brother you will be back to 100 just be patient and keep reminding yourself that by this time nxt year you will be looking back saying " i remember when i thought i would never make it 100% and look at me now"

I'm on week 3 post surgery. I have my first rehab tomorrow. I can't wait to walk like that lol the things you take for granted. This is deff positive to see. Thank you for the post 🙏🙏👍

[@DrSarangDesai]

Sure thing! Good luck!

Thank you so much! I can't wait to walk without those crutches again !!!!

I just hit 6 weeks today. I’m walking but not with that confidence and normal gait. Still in the boot but weaning off and adding more dorsi flexion gradually. Step by step. He is doing awesome but don’t rush the process. I started full weight bearing at 3.5 weeks and removed all heel lifts at 5.5 weeks. Goal is to walk by 7-8 weeks with a normal gait. Watching others and learning about tendon healing is critical. Also, I’d suggest walking in a pool that submerges 70% of your body and practice walking in it. That helps build confidence. You have to embrace the injury as your new normal and create small goals and challenges. It will make you stronger mentally. I also got far more into weight lifting than before. Don’t be depressed, get over it and move forward. I even set the goal to have bigger calves within 2 years. They were both 15 inches and I want to hit 16+. You either get smarter and stronger or sink. It’s your choice

[@robertwilson6050]

Amen bro

[@alwaysreturnNurgirl]

You doing any better man, since 3 weeks have elapsed...also did you have surgery or non op? Thanks again, and hope your doing better

[@chrisretro6952]

Need advice man I’m on week 5 and started therapy week 3 after surgery but still haven’t been able to walk confident with all wedges

[@daysofgrace89]

I’m on week 9. Doing great. Started walking without a boot at week 8. My walk is still off with a limp. Regarding confidence - it’s all mental. I have to constantly remind myself that it won’t retear and even if it does (which it won’t), then who cares. I’ll be fine. You have to embrace the worst case scenario to deal with the fear aspect, but deep down, you know if you’re being careful, the likelihood is very small to nonexistent. I did surgery by the way.

[@alwaysreturnNurgirl]

​@@daysofgrace89 thanks for the sound advice and the mental insight (I've been having issues mentally with this injury...just depressing you know?) BTW when were you cleared to walk up stairs/steps? Thanks again, and wish you the best on your way to normalcy again!!

[@Nock.Draw.Release]

I’m at 6 week post op walking! Not with that much confidence lol but I’m getting there. Definitely inspired me to walk more confident today

[@alwaysreturnNurgirl]

How you doing now (since it's been a month) hopefully very well!

[@iceberggslim22]

I know that walk all to well. Relearning how to walk after tearing your Achilles is mind boggling 🤯

[@DrSarangDesai]

It takes time that is for certain

[@jole_snake]

​@@DrSarangDesai can i play soccer when i recover?

[@ShaunResolute]

I’m day 17 post op and feeling really good. Do you know at what point are the fibers (excuse my terminology here) re-connected? For example is the gentleman above(week6) are they fully connected or relying still on stitches?

[@DrSarangDesai]

@@ShaunResolute typically the tendon itself takes about 8 weeks to heal, however it takes time for it to be loaded safely. I would stick to your docs protocol!

[@DrSarangDesai]

Took me about the same amount of time to be able to walk with my toes pointed forward. Currently at the 6 month mark post Achilles tear. It has been quite the journey lol

[@tete4350]

Does it hurt when you tear it, what did it feel like you when you walking or running

[@TimorGamez]

@@tete4350it hurt like hell when I tore mine but I can’t tell you about how it feels like to run or walk because I’m just three weeks out of surgery

Hey, I accidentally put weight on my foot/ankle 3 times since I had my achilles tendon lengthening surgery. What is the likelihood that I may have re-ruptered my achilles tendon?

[@samk5321]

I’m about the same and just got the all clear from my physio to go without the boot and back to the gym. I’m a professional dancer, so looking at full recovery in a month or so with all being well. Fingers crossed!

This gives me hope, im a week post-op and I'm just ready to walk again.. glad to know it won't be long for me... any advice guys..

[@ryanhammonds9503]

I’m 2 weeks post op. Starting PT next week. Nutrition goes a long way in it healing faster. Light at the end of the tunnel is that most can start walking / some form of weight bearing around weeks 5-7. Hang in there 👍🏻

HELP ME 😢😢 FOR 1 Yr iv not been able to go on tiptoe at all on my right foot. Includes swollen achilles tendon 😢. A Yr ago while dancing at a gig I felt like a massive kick from behind?? Does this mean it's totally snapped or partially torn please? When I walk its painful.

[@christiner.7324]

@PricelessJesus I still have problems on my tiptoe and at the end of June will be a year postop I still deal with on-and-off swelling and soreness I still go to post-op appointments every 2 months You should make an appointment and voice your concerns, so you can rest your mind... Our body's health is different and some need much more time... I am shocked by how long mine taking with this healing process, I wish you the best, be kind to yourself, and give yourself much grace.. good luck

[@XiaoDengLi]

My doctor told me 6 weeks of non weight bearing after surgery, then 6 weeks with partial weight bearing, and then start rehab. Am I missing something?

[@ibnoir]

At week 4 you should start pwb and week 6 fwb as tolerated

[@senatorswain8854]

I did mine in May, I was also told this, I’m 4 months in now and can’t walk without a limp yet, not quite understanding what’s going on in this video

[@BKWhite07]

fwb as tolerated with your boot. & even at 6 weeks I'd think he'd still have at least two wedges but hey .. idk. I'm one wedge @ week 8 fwb. cheers to good health

[@DrSarangDesai]

I would follow your docs advice!

[@beto3707]

Right, I was in a damn cast for 5 weeks and now finally in a boot with 2 wedges for pwb with crutches. I feel I’m behind everyone else with all these videos. WTH. I guess it depends on the doctor’s protocol.

[@SupaReus]

How do Drs predetermine the recovery I've seen footballers returning to gull time play in 5months and some a whole year

It depends on each individual and how they recover their function after surgery.

@@senatorswain8854 you are wrong my friend. We start rehabilitation 1 week after surgery to work on range of motion so by 6 weeks the ankle is weak but not stiff. You can see he has a limp but this works itself out with formal rehabilitation.

The tendon heals at week twelve, rehab in 1 week after surgery is setting you for re raptured. My traumatologist explain this to me. Stop misleading people. If you are a Physo, your license can be revoked

Clearly he is not familiar with new rehabilitation processes

@@DrSarangDesai what is the new rehabilitation process? I am five weeks out and instructed not to put any weight on my boot. Where is the new protocol? I would like to read it.
