Achilles pull - One year later
Posted , 4 users are following.
45 yrs old... I pulled my Achilles Tendon playing basketball about one year ago. It didn't snap, but I could feel a major strain on it between my heel and my calf muscles. I could barely walk for the next several days, and I waited about 3 weeks before giving in and going to a doctor. I wore a boot for 3 weeks, and things seemed to be slowly healing. It is almost one year later, and I'm still no where close to being healed. Advice please...

I'm sorry to hear your position.
I was told that tendons are the longest n most painful healing process physiotherapy wise.
That in mind, would you say you have been doing your your physiotherapy or if at all?
It's imperative we keep at it for as long as we can .
If you feel you did do you excersises then I suggest you go back to your doctor and have an ultrasound or x ray to see what state your tendon is in. I'm sure it's fixable so keep positive and get to the docs to get it seen to !
I'm fully aware of the financial implications if you have to pay for medical treatment ....hopefully you have that covered. I live in the United Kingdom and here we pay for our treatment monthly out of our salary n all our medical needs are met by the state. It's a marvellous system.
Hope you get better soon and keep at it.
Best of luck!
