    Hi Did you have a tendon transfer ? I had surgery for my complete rupture of my achillies in Feb 2015 and surgeon took tendon from big toe to repair it but alas that effected my whole foot and curled up all my toes hence had to have two more operations to straighten my toes and yes to answer your question yes I have still got numbness in my plantar part of foot and toes and they say that numbness will remain for years yet

      No I didn't have a transfer and my toes have not curled up. It's just annoying because I still have the burning, stinging sensations and Noone can tell me how long this will go on.
