Hi,

I ruptured my Achilles playing football 10 1/2 weeks ago, and was in a cast for two weeks and a brace for a further 6, i wasn't given the option of surgery. I'd been making good progress with my exercises and physiotherapy since coming out of the brace. I'd been encouraged to put as much weight through the affected achilles as possible and yesterday while doing heel raises, something seemed to give way and i came crashing down. At first it felt like the tendon had gone again although i know it hasnt and was more painful than when it actually did go! It's very painful around the whole of the tendon with lots of creaking and very tight and im unable to put any weight on my toes. I wondered if anyone had a similar experience during rehab and whether it may be a muscle going or scar tissue etc.

Thanks!
