Yet another set back! 5 months post ATR, then tendonitis, now following continuous pain in toes and foot - a stress reaction has been diagnosed in mri scan. Ie an impending stress fracture. I now have to go back into boot cast for a couple of weeks. Has anyone experienced this? Not much in stress fracture forum. 😔

    Hello Jacinta,  I was 8 months post-op from an Achilles debridement. Had a huge set back. I got cellulitis pretty bad I formedc an abscess.  I am the 3rd person my podiatrist has ever see this happen to.  My Achilles tendon died and detached it got very infected.  I had to have emergency surgery to cut the Achilles tendon out and clean up the abscess.  Due to the cellulitis my Dr was limited to what he could do.  So I am going to have a 3rd surgery next month to have reconstructive surgery he will take the tendon from my big toe and rebuild me an Achilles. I will be non weight baring for 2 months. A year recovery. Three surgeries in less than a year this has set me back a year own my recovery. I hope you get to feeling better soon. And wish you all the best
