Ruptured Achilles Tendon Recovery 8 Months After Surgery

[@teachergaby3255]

I had a complete rapture and the surgery. Be patient, those heel raises are the last struggle, they are so difficult to achieve and it takes a lot of time and patience. I'm on my 8th month like this guy and I can do heel raises with both feet but I still can't do a single heel raise, because I'm lacking a certain percentage of strength on my metatarsus, but I will gain it back again. So don't worry if you can't do a single heel raise yet. A lot of people recover differently. We are working on gaining strength.

I had non surgical repair of my rupture and I’m about to turn over to the 8 month mark and just started straight line running. 2 months ago it looked like I was going in for a tendon graft and it all came together. Just trust the process anyone out there going through it. It only gets easier

[@1BOXINGKING1]

Wow, I hope to do that in 8 months !

[@bastard342]

Did you?

[@1BOXINGKING1]

@@bastard342 I can’t jump ass good & my single legs calf raises aren’t that high but hopefully soon

[@dreamcast3w525]

8 months you should be able to run its 4 to 6 months to be able to do what the guy is doing at the video

[@1MILLIONARE1]

This patient is about 1 year and 8 months after surgery, any chance you can get them in for a progress video. I need to see what the inflammation looks like and if they are able to do the single calf raise for motivation

[@marleighcastillo5312]

I have a question sir! What will happen if you torn your Achilles tendon again? The same Achilles that have the surgery?

[@andrewharrison6715]

I can roughly 90% weight heel raise. But getting to the single heel raise i just cant make the transition. To much pain. Been stuck at this stage the past month now. I only get one physio appointment per month. I got back this week and feel like no progress has been made. Im at the 7 month stage now.

[@PJPTP]

I am at this same time frame and still dealing with quite a bit of pain in the outer heal area when I walk or try to push off the balls of my feet. Worried

[@kcchen2920]

Have a similar experience, how's it feeling now?

[@MoonCultureFilms]

I was able to hit a single leg calf raise 3 months post surgery. I'm at 7 months now and can run decently, jump, etc. However, my single leg calf raise height hasnt increased much.. I'm hoping in the next few months I can get more range of motion during the single calf raise. Side note, I ruptured my left achilles 2 years ago. Then I ruptured my right achilles 7 months ago.. 😅

[@ikeman9784]

Yo that's my biggest fear. I've ruptured the right one 4 months ago an I'm addressing all imbalances in my body as I rehab to prevent exactly that..

[@AlexSmith-zn5sf]

How did the second one happen if you don’t mind me asking?

[@MoonCultureFilms]

@AlexSmith-zn5sf so both of them happened while playing basketball. 1st time I jumped, landed, then tried to sprint forward and my left achilles snapped. Second time I simply did a backstep and the right one snapped. It's been a year and 3 months since my right Achilles rupture now btw. I'm never playing basketball again lol

[@Hrsmigrationexperts]

Im now back to work after 4 weeks.

[@lazizak6064]

Is it normal feel pain after 3 months from surgery after walking on treadmill ! I Believe overworked out with 12 PT sessions plus my own schedule! Please any advice ? Thank u 🙏

[@LumisScrimmins]

You may have had a collagen deficiency. Plenty of protein and vitamin c. The Vitamin C creates collagen and keratin from amino acids in the body.

[@111soreal]

I’m 5 months post opp and I can do all of those and run… I guess I’m doing well

[@bastard342]

You’re doing good a guy 7months in said he can’t do calf raises

[@111soreal]

@@bastard342 eccentric calf raises are key. Don’t force it if your ready your not ready

[@intentionalgroundlings]

I ruptured my right Achilles years ago. My right calf even with working out never got back to how it once was. Oh well I’m glad my doc fixed me!

[@calmandcollected5190]

So even after you got surgery it hasn't gotten back to its original good condition?

[@calmandcollected5190]

Please reply when you see this

[@adamwilson8093]

I’m having the same problem with left calf

[@jorgechain2209]

Which excercises was the patient doing before month 8 im in month 7 and still cant do the one leg calf raise but i can jogg really soft and calf raise pretty well my flexibility is not bad but not pretty well

[@kimchiyamz6150]

Every month makes huge difference think you'll be behind but keep surprising yourself closer to the 9-12 month mark

[@PrayerWarrior571]

I’m on 7months I can’t do single calf raises and I can’t jog or run. I heard that some people it took them 18months

[@hebrewhammer8571]

I’m walking after 5 weeks

[@Always_Never]

That's awesome! Doing stairs too?

[@luketiernan6108]

7 months post op and I'm not close to single leg calf raises.

[@bastard342]

That’s sad lol

[@thepunygiant]

I'm roughly 8 months out now and just started them. My single leg calf raises aren't very hight, but present and improving. Don't skip any scheduled workout and stretching days. They all count.

[@willyschitumba5914]

You need to see a physiotherapist. I thought I was doomed after 4 months, but I'm now able to run after 6½ months. I only had 7 physio sessions mind you. (And it was all about massaging, ultrasound, and inducing electricity)

[@zbyszekmtb]

I'm at week 9 and can do them only in pool :/

[@vasilasenov-om4dh]

Hello im 50 days post op surgery achilles tendon is it normall to fell so so stiff and hard i cant reach nautral position as if my achilles cant streach is this normall will it become more elastic in future

[@MoonCultureFilms]

You'll be feeling stiffness in your achilles for at least 6 months. The first 3 months are terrible. It's completely normal to feel extremely stiff at your point in time. I went through this surgery twice, so I know the feeling you're feeling too well lol. You'll get that range and flexibility back over time, as long as you take rehab seriously throughout your recovery process.

[@julianlebese8980]

How is it now?

[@lemule2744]

I ruptured left Achilles. Lower almost at the outside above heel. I’m bout a year removed from surgery and I’m still sore after hoops. Any suggestions?

[@111soreal]

Your not strong enough yet… do more strength training WITH WEIGHTS

[@bastard342]

[@isaacgomez5359]
