The Dreaded Bang!!
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi folks I'm new to the group - on Thursday night (16.04.15) whilst playing badminton I heard a noise as if someone had dropped something heavy on floor by me as I ran across the back of the court until I realized that in fact that it was my achilles and that it had ruptured! Having suffered numerous strains and tendonitis I knew straight away the worst had happen and what I will have to endure for most of the next 12 months. I was taken straight to a & e and following confirmation by the doctor on call was put in an air boot until I see the specialist on Monday to discuss what happens next regarding treatment. Feeling a bit down at the moment with all the aches and pain but I'm sure I'll be fine once I've seen the specialist - finding sleeping the worst, just can't get comfortable!

Yes, welcome to the club. I am almost 6 weeks down the line now. No surgery - just the boot and reducing the wedges. It does ease off but you must follow the advice and not try to run before you walk. As you indicated it will be a long journey but sticking with advice and taking it easy is the way forward. I actually start physio on Tuesday so I know progress is being made.
I don't know what job you do but my job is completely physical in everything I do and I need to be at least 90% functional to get back to it and that is some way off yet so no rushing to get back. Its frustrating and costly but I'll get there.
Good luck

I would be interested to know what your line of work is as I cannot even think about going back to my job as it is a 100% physical job involving a lot of lifting, carrying etc. and am on my feet all the time.
Anyway, keep up the good work and don't push it too hard
Chris
