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.

For real. I live in 500 sqft, and up a flight of stairs. A scooter was not an option when I broke my ankle. Crutches for two months. 😅

[@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.

@@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.

[@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.

[@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!

I'm a runner, and I got a really bad case of Achilles tendinitis which turned into tendinopathy that lasted 2 years. I could barely walk a few meters without stopping on most days. People with Achilles tendinopathy are much, much more likely to suffer from Achilles rupture. And while my tendinopathy now calmed down, I don't even feel the pain on most days anymore and I'm currently training for a marathon, the possibility of Achilles rupture is still giving me nightmares.

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)

[@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.

[@rogerlewis1295]

77 year old, experienced severe ankle sprain in January and it took almost six months to return to my normal 5-7 miles a day.

[@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!

[@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.

@@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.

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.

As someone who's experienced a ruptured achilles, it legitimately is the worst thing ever. Your entire ankle/heel becomes stiff as a rock. You can't bend it. I was doing hours and hours a day of PAINFUL stretching just to get some range of motion back. Imagine going through your daily routine like Will did, with all the muscular pain and everything being 10x harder, and combine that with not being able to even GRAZE your achilles without the worst shooting pain you've ever felt. Putting on socks is miserable. Putting on/wearing shoes is miserable. Live on the third floor like I did? You're either climbing the stairs with one leg or you're in for an even worse time. Sleeping is insanely difficult. Even if you're not moving/putting pressure on the achilles, there's ALWAYS a strong, aching pain shooting down your leg. The worst part is in a lot of cases, the symptoms never fully go away. It's truly eye opening how much of a privilege just being able to walk is until you're not able to do it anymore.

[@colinvazquez5643]

Watching with a ruptured achilles 🥲

[@heetwav7]

Good luck with your recovery💯

[@e.huncho11]

@@heetwav7 thank you! 🙏🏽

[@justjaguar2314]

Iiiiy have a speedy recovery my dude Patience and determination💪

[@benlenoff8793]

I had a recent injury scare at the gym, it puts into perspective how fortunate I am to be able to remain active. I am very disciplined about exercising, especially because the last couple years were tougher for me mentally/emotionally. It is so cliche but 100% of the time I try my best, I succeed and I fail, I just don’t see the point in giving up.

[@MB-jz3uu]

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.

[@anthonymontgomery2727]

Thats the career ender. Hes just simulating it. He doesn't have the pain on top.

[@rayendhahri6872]

lets go acl next for 9 months simulation

Just on the homestretch of recovering from fracturing both my ankles and a broken arm glad to see I’m not alone in the struggle

[@OhSjit]

New fear unlocked. Thanks, Will 😆

[@aprilj2628]

No kidding lol. Humans are so fragile

[@craigivison2951]

Definitely needed that little motivation talk at the end 💪🏾

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 😅

[@BDW2008]

I went through all of what you see in this video 4 years ago even I ruptured my Achilles. The knee scooter. The knee crutch. Can’t get your leg wet until the incision is fully healed. No driving. The elevated leg while sleep. It was by far the suckiest thing I’ve ever been through. I’ve had people die and it did not suck as bad as that damn Achilles. Just when you start walking you think oh I’m good now. Nope. You still gotta learn how to walk normal again. Then the stiffness in your Achilles for months. You miss one day of stretching and boom it’s tight ass crap. Definitely took a mental toll on me. I miss several relatives birthdays because of it. For all my fellow people that dealt with this or are going through it right now. I know exactly how you feel. Stay strong.

[@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!!

[@davidmeloche3563]

As a below knee amputee, I feel this video. This is how I deal with mobility as well.

[@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.

[@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

[@RVG964]

Yeah it's painful but nothing compared to when someone says, "You don't look like you workout"

[@Barba223]

I have torn both my acls. Recovering from second one now. People do not understand the mental toughness you need to get through it. Physical is rough but the mental maybe even worse. It takes so much dedication to stay the course

[@vinnypicone5404]

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

[@americanmike101]

This is one of the hardest videos I've had to watch. I've partially torn my calf muscle before and this is this is my worst nightmare.
