I ruptured my left Achilles 3 years ago. Had a 4 inch gap. It changed my whole life in a negative way I don’t think people talk about enough how much the mental gets hit. After 1 year I developed tendinitis on the other Achilles. Finally this summer started running and jumping 100% pain free. Never give up it sucks but you learn to find your new normal. Just take your time and don’t rush the recovery process, it’ll ebb and flow.

[@pt.gymjunkie106]

I ruptured my Achilles 10 months ago. It’s not a fun recovery and a very hard rehab. People don’t understand just how truly hard it is. You have to basically teach yourself to walk again and simplest things are just so difficult.

[@guille8756]

[@kimi14118]

Ruptured my Achilles in February. People have no idea how hard the recovery is. Yes I’m walking but I still not cleared to run let alone do any plyos

[@pt.gymjunkie106]

@@guille8756 dunno where you’re from but in Australia that stuff isn’t just casually handed out as medicine for a sports injury. Unless you’re doing it illegally or you’re Aaron Rodgers getting it done, the average full recovery for Achilles surgery is 12 months. And at 10 months, I’m now basically doing everything again. I’m running, jumping, skipping, etc. Just waiting to be given the all clear for sport again.

[@NomSauce]

Physiotherapy is so mentally straining, you're doing the same shit, day in day out, and you won't see any improvements until months, sometimes years down the line. Any improvement along the way is so unnoticable that you have such a hard time getting any motivation from feeling a difference. Then you have to use 100% focus just for normal tasks, because you need to rewrite your brain's current automatic usage of said area, because you may not only have had improper coordination in it prior to the injury, but you brain is now incorporating compensatory movement that you absolutely cannot let it get used to. So you're always mentally drained and never allowed to go full out in a workout because too much fatigue can hinder the healing process/speed of the area even if it's not a part of the workout. That shit absolutely sucks.

[@MCJSA]

I broke my leg in a traffic accident, completely snapped both tibia and fibula. I was in a full leg cast for six months and on crutches for another two after the cast came off. But, I learned not to run for busses. I learned that people would help me up stairs and escalators in the Underground even without being asked. I learned to chill out and not be in a rush to do things. And I learned that able-bodiedness is a temporary state. People adapt very quickly and a lot of that is psychological. Ever seen a three legged dog? The dog doesn't feel sorry for itself or compare itself to other dogs. It just ignores the injury and gets on with it. Getting injured is part of life.

[@davidkidane86]

I ruptured my Achilles tendon playing basketball in 2019. The injury itself wasn’t too painful - just a quick tendon pop, and that was it. Surgery was a couple of weeks later. I spent 2.5 months in a boot and another couple of months learning how to walk without a limp. After a year, I was almost back to 90%, but as a 30+ year-old man, I realized I would never be as athletic and flexible as I was before the injury. Now, 5 years later, I’m doing pretty well, running fast and lifting heavy weights. Overall, it’s a crazy injury because it leaves you useless for 5 months. The pain was manageable, and I tried not to use painkillers. On a positive note, my surgery was amazing, and the tendon recovered so well it’s almost unnoticeable. What this video doesn’t portray is the crazy fear of re-rupture during every movement while recovering - pure fear for months. My advice: take your time, be positive, and focus on rehab exercises.

After the boot, you will have to learn how to walk normal all over again from square one. This experience has been humbling to say the least and I will never take anything for granted again🙌🏼

[@jeremydavis3617]

I ruptured mine almost 7 months ago. It will get better once you get off of crutches. Try to make small goals and keep the big goals in sight. Once I was cleared to start putting weight on my foot I would use a scale under my bad foot and measure how much weight I could hold. I started with only being able to put 20lbs of weight and then worked up to half my body weight. Once I got that I worked on standing and shifting my weight until I was able to hold my full body weight on my bad foot. Then I knew I was ready to try walking without crutches. Stick with the rehab and it will get better. By month three you will be able to function much more normally and your quality of life will greatly improve. It’s just as much of a mental battle as it is physical, but you will come back from this stronger with a better perspective on life and health. You got this!

[@Armed98]

Now try it for 12 to 16 weeks...I had this injury and I quickly noticed and learned to truly empathize with the folks that live with disabilities. It was truly sobering but the lessons learned were life changing,. Great video Will !

[@daniel-ym9un]

Tore everything in my right ankle when I was 23, 30 years ago, sliding into 2nd base. Didn't need surgery, but ended up being in a cast for 3 months, and a walking boot for 1 month. I'm too short to use crutches without killing my arm pits, so I started hopping around on one foot to get around. By the time I got the boot, off, my right leg looked like a wooden peg leg, and my left quad was almost as big as my waist(31"). Right calf was down to 11", left was 18". The difference between each leg was unreal.

[@tonymgc82]

Matt & Will was a crossover I wasn’t expecting!

[@gacjones]

Yeah. Disappointing tbh

[@LindaFranklin-i7m]

As someone who has done this…24 hours in nothing! 9 weeks in plaster and then still had crutches for a further 6 months. Even after all this it is the mental loss of trust in your body that takes the longest to recover from. Back doing long distance running now but wow I NEVER want to have surgery again! Oh and the 1/3 chance of re-rupturing again… mental torture!

[@GlasUndMetall]

I've never seen the description 'the mental loss of trust in your body' but having gone through some surgeries (although not like this and I'm so sorry you went through this, I can't imagine) I instantly identified with this. The self doubt is a mf. So happy for you that you are back to running!

[@esmee6308]

The trust in my body hits hard. I had multiple heavy surgeries with a long recovery which all weren't as impactful as one'd hope. Then I had my carpel tunnel surgery, most simple low recovery surgeries I had except one of the things I can't do now is walk with crutches. It's been two years and I'm terrified since I know my hip is up again soon. Worst part is, my other wrist still requires surgery as well.

2 years ago i had a total of 4 knee surgeries, 3 on my right 1 on my left, very difficult times. Will brought me back to those days😭 great vid

[@azul8790]

From a person that suffered this awful injury 2 years ago this video definitely portrays the physical pain of the recovery but I don't think any video could show the mental pain that's inflicted. I'm no athlete but am very active and independent and it definitely tests your mental strength which I barely made it through. That peg leg was my savior since I live in a basement apartment and hated having to constantly ask for help. Thankfully back at everything I was doing previously but also was told I was lucky in that I tore it up and down instead of the normal way. I was injured in June, surgery at end of June, able to start trying to walk in August, and back to full leg workouts in November although had to build back up to heavy weight. Advice for the people that unfortunately deal with it aside from obviously finding a good PT, do what you can that makes you happy whether it's sitting at the beach or playing video games. If you let your mental health decline it gets far worse than the injury, I hit my low 1 week after surgery but thankfully have a loving family that dropped off a goodie basket of candy to help me make it through!

If you get an injury like this it’s an amazing idea to train the other leg while recovering . Keeping your muscle on the healthy leg will help the recovery process speed up and there’s many studies that show contralateral training can produce gains on the other leg ( training the healthy side can keep/ gain muscle on injured side)

[@Scudmugs503]

Pegging and Greek in back to back sentences. The Tennyson legend only grows.

[@dash4800]

The worst injury is a back injury. (Well i guess neck would be worse but you would probably not feel much) A slipped disk in the right spot can be intensely painful and completely immobilize you. I have had tons of leg injuries and been in casts and on crutches and that is nothing compared to my herniated disk they couldn't fix. A leg injury still lets you do stuff and enjoy normal things. A back injury literally prevents you from doing anything. I couldnt even sit up for more than 10 minutes at a time.

it's so funny. I literally broke my leg yesterday and this video is showing up in my subscriptions😂

[@SgtMoonCabbage]

I did this in 2021 when I stopped to help a stranded motorist, was pushing the car off to the side, and it just popped. I played college baseball and some years after. I have always lifted and been physically active for work all my life. It can happen to anyone. Let me tell you, it is so immediate that you know exactly what it is. Your foot becomes useless, and nothing works. Your mind is telling you to step forward, and nothing happens. Then the shock wears off, and the throbbing pain sets in. My calf was purple and yellow to the knee. Either way, the surgery went well and I am full strength and lifting again. A few years later, the repaired area is somewhat stiffer and definitely harder to the touch. Achilles was worse than the Tommy John elbow surgery. The size of the ligament is just enormous compared to most stuff in your body.

[@DaveVoyles]

I torn my achillies while playing lacrosse at 32 a few years ago. It's devastating. Sounds like a gunshot goes off from the muscle tearing and pulling. In terms of recovery, once you are "healed", you very likely will get tendonitis, which is also devastating. To help with this I've found the ATG work from Knees Over Toes Guy to be extremely helpful. Gradually build yourself back. Also, learn to tape your achillies correctly. So many videos on KZbin explain it poorly, but once you learn to do it correctly it is an absolute game changer.

[@ukraine23]

Does the tape help it be more stable or?

[@DaveVoyles]

@@ukraine23 BIG TIME. I can't run without it now, because the tendinitis starts to flare up. But with the tape I've had zero issues running. That K tape, or kinesiology tape, flat out does not work for this injury. It just doesn't provide any support. What I found works is using generic athletic tape. Take 3-5 strips, and start at the midpoint beneath your foot, between the ball of your foot and heel. Run the strip up to the high ankle, about 6 inches above the heel, a few inches above the tendonitis injury. Then, take 3 strips and wrap them around the high ankle, to hold the tape in place. Take 3 strips around your foot, so that it holds the opposite end in place. Now you have an artificial achilies, with the tape taking most of the load from your tendon. The trick with this is to have your foot flexion (point your toes DOWN, toward the ground) a bit while you tape this up. The reason for this is you are trying to prevent your foot from having extension (where your toes point up, towards your head), as THIS is what triggers the achillies to stretch and get hurt again.

[@taoist32]

@@DaveVoylesI’m glad you found what works for you. I want to point out that pointing your toes down is called plantarflexion, while pointing your toes up towards the body is called dorsiflexion.

My first day home I decided I knew more than a surgeon and sat at my computer playing World of Warcraft. After ONE hour, my foot had swollen so much inside the cast I thought it would explode. 9 weeks in plaster cast, 3 more in a boot. My calf was unrecognizable.

[@wastelander1015]

When i was 18 yo i tore my achilles tendon doing 1k splits on the track. I was semi-pro. Experiencing an achilles rupture is like being hit with an hammer in the foot. Than you get numb of all the pain but later it starts flooding in again. Then you get your achilles stitched together and your foot immobilized. After 3 months on crutches you get another +3 months of physotherapy and walking with a crane. It took me nearly 7 months to walk straight again but my achilles never healed 100%. So, take precautions and protect your bodies at all cost. Prevention by strength training, stretching and choosing the ideal exercise gear is very important.

This is fun to watch as a leg amputee lifter lol. I use crutches but it definitely is hard to adjust to having no leg drive, no firm planting, can't lock your leg under a lat pulldown, etc. Thanks for the cool vid :) And welcome to a day in my life! haha

As a therapist this was hard to watch lol. With how unsafe transfers were especially when showering the chances of a real injury sky rocketed. But appreciate the video!!

I just broke 4 bones in my foot. It sucks. My calfs are gonna start to look like Will's after I'm back. Its not as rough of a long term recovery as an achilles but ill still be in a boot like the video for a couple months.

[@bbridges100]

I ruptured my right Achilles and a couple months after my surgery I ruptured my left Achilles. Now a year and a half later I still have trouble with simple movements and have not gotten back to where I can run, but I keep working towards it.

Broke my ankle on Thursday. The terrible sleep is accurate.

I sprained my ankle from basketball recently bad, no fracture or anything but yes sleep fkn sucks for a while so mich pain

[@sundayrunday7586]

I broke my ankle in 2017. I’m a stomach sleeper normally so it was six weeks of terrible sleep until I could finally sleep on my front without pain. As soon as I could, I was back to sleeping on my face. 😂😂😂

[@sudoroot8900]

Tore mine few years back right when the pandemic happened. Needless to say it took me a few years to recover fully. You never regain full strength but you get close. It's extremely disruptive to your life. Now they have discovered that you are really no better off having surgery than you are putting the boot on with wedges. It just takes a really long time for the Achilles to recover

[@piperuk5366]

I witnessed my mate's 50yr old dad tearing his achilles. He decided to jump over a waist height metal railing, instead of walking 10 extra seconds to the darn gate. He stepped onto the looped part of the top of the fence and was about to spring off it but his foot got caught in the loop 😳 Holy cow did he crumple!!

I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times. 78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways. 81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times. 88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified. 99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations." 102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75 ///////////

Just had surgery 2 weeks ago from rupturing my achilles running up a warped wall during ninja warrior training. Despite this video, I'm hopeful I can make a full recovery 😅

[@SiimplyDejella_Lovesjesus]

Baljinder is a hero fr- I love this- not me in the beginning thinking it actually happened to you- looks like I'm not doing soccer anymore so I don't have to the do this-

[@shweird]

Trust me recovering from abdominal surgery is probably worse. I had to sleep in my recliner For 6 weeks And then I had to use a wedge to keep my feet elevated to relieve pressure from my Lower abs so I could sleep. I genuinely thought I would never get to roll over And sleep on my side or my belly ever again but I finally did.

[@katashley1031]

Sounds horrible, glad you're past that finally.

Done both, Achilles is worse. Had my bowel resectioned 2022, full rupture of my Achilles in 2023. The long term issues of the Achilles is… life changing

[@yoda3964]

Had extensive ankle surgery, and the recovery process was pretty similar for me, definitely one of the most miserable periods in my life. Having to shower while sitting down and just how long everything takes is EXHAUSTING. And the scooter comment is so real they have the worse turn radius I’ve ever seen

I tore my Achilles on Labor day of 2023 (shortly after having been diagnosed with fatty liver disease). I was at the time in the worst shape of my life, which got only worse after, as I waited for surgery and the subsequent recovery. Your attempt is strong, but it's hard to replicate the constant pain and ache. Falling off the scooter and reflexively landing on your booted foot, or accidently bashing your foot against something causing near blackout and vomit inducing pain. As mentioned by the guy you interviewed, learning to walk again is very slow and frustrating, wearing wedges in the boot, then in your shoes to slowly stretch out the tendon is both painful and seems to take forever. Then rebuilding calf strength to match your other leg takes even longer; it's crazy what your body does without your even being aware to compensate for the weakness in the atrophied leg without you even being aware, that throws everything else out of whack. My calves still aren't even, but I'm getting close and I lack any sort of explosive power with that leg. Anyway, it's not a dead end. I used my accident and recovery as a wakeup call, and am down more than 30lbs and in far far better shape than I was when I got hurt. Nowhere near to my days as a Marine on active duty, so I still have a long road to go, but I thank you Will, Jeff Nippard, Dr. Mike, and Thomas DeLauer for helping to keep my motivation up even when things get tough.... To be clear the pain is still real and persistent. Almost a year later, on training days (6 days per week) I still need to take advil for my ankle specifically to reduce inflammation, soreness, and make it possible to fall asleep.
