2 years, same achilles pain, advice?
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hey guys, I've been rambling on another site and not getting much help and just stumbled across you all.
I will try to be brief. I'm an aging athlete, age 45. I had major bone spurs at the back of my heel and was suggested to have them shaved down. Seemed like a reletively simple surgery, so i went for it. My doctor said i would be up and running in 3 months. I'm now at my 2 year mark and after countless rehab and patience, i'm now beginning to think i may have some problems. I play Ultimate frisbee and this year, ive had lots of strange overcompensating injuries. I hobble when running and just can't shake this nagging pain. Seems my achilles is always weak. I especially feel it when driving, very annoying. I've also been to other doctors and have had MRI's done after the surgery but my 2nd opinion doc said everything checks fine. One more thing, i have nagging pain going down my right side of my calf, straight towards the surgically repaired achilles. I also have to mention that the doctor put my splint on too tight and damaged nerves on the left top side of my foot. I've been managing that as well.
I'm sure i missed a few parts of my story yet i still feel i was long winded..haha.
Thanks for listening and im all ears on anything you all may think is going on with me. I've been reading alot of comments on here so far of near close situation that i'm going through so i'm sure i will get some feedback,
thanks,
Jeff
