Recovery Pains?
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi All, forgive me if this topic has been covered before.
What are the pains expected on the leg of the ATR?
My ruptured 8 days ago and went non-surgical route which has me in an air boot.
Currently my calf is very tight, it reminds me of the after pain when you have pulled the calf muscle and just above the heel it's a slight stinging pain - is this just the tenon repairing it's self and slightly stretching itself?
I have no almost zero guidance from the hospital on what to expect.

They put him in a groin to toes plaster cast for the first 11 days, rendering his leg completely useless.
No risk assessment, no anti clot meds and no warnings.
You don`t have a cast, but please take a look at the DVT info on this site as you should have been given some instruction from the hospital.
I do not wish to frighten people out there, I want all to be armed with knowledge so that they can protect themselves............as our hospitals are not doing this. Take care.
