Achilles rupture 6 months and feeling depressed
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hi,. It's coming up to 6 months since I ruptured the Achilles playing football. Didn't have surgery. Just a boot. The tendon has attached itself however I'm stuck in limbo. Im seeing no improvement whatsoever. I'm still in pain and it's reached a point where it's getting me down as I can't see myself returning to any activities. Can't even do single heel raises as people say they can do at 6 months .
Just wondered, is depression a common thing for this type of injury?
At 6 months what should I be expecting to do?
Any tips on how to get better quick?
Just at a total loss at the moment, doctors and physio have been useless.

Heal raise at 6 mo. Just got to keep at it. Check all the videos on the net a lot of good info.om exercise etc.
Finding a good PT would help a lot

Hi,
There's none around hence the frustration, so feeling like im losing a battle. Even if its a guideline to see what i should be expecting across 6, 12, 18 months so something i can aim towards would be ideal.
