Walking after a Achilles Tendon Rupture - Melanie Strange Recovery Story

Achilles tendon rupture is when the Achilles tendon tears. The Achilles is the most commonly injured tendon. Rupture can occur while performing actions requiring explosive acceleration, such as pushing off or jumping.
Typically people say it feels like being kicked or shot behind the ankle. Upon examination a gap may be felt just above the heel unless swelling has filled the gap. Walking will usually be severely impaired, as the patient will be unable to step off the ground using the injured leg. Consult an Orthopedic surgeon for proper diagnosis.
Dr. Jason Rudolph is a Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon and graduated from the Chicago Medical School in 1993. Some of his specialties include complex ankle and foot reconstruction, ankle injuries, and all sports-related injuries.

Doesnt say anything important. Like how long did it take before you could walk? Etc. I could have summed up the entire video in just a few words. "I ruptured my tendon. The doctor did surgery. I'm walking again." ???
