I still have a 'dent' in my left ankle from the achilles tendon extension. That stuff sounds pretty sore
I have a bump on my left ankle from an Achilles tendon rip haha.
I'm thinking that I'm probably not going to opt for surgery until I'm finished swimming in 4 years after college. I'm hoping I can get by with just a debris cleaning and not need surgery at all.
Best be careful there...don't want the permanent damage from letting go.

hahaha that's funny I had the exact same operation when I was born. Heal cord too short, they cut and extended it. Now after basic training's injury I have a bump in the middle of my Achilles tendon lol.

If you opt for no surgery look up strengthening exercises. If you do overhead presses keep it light you'll feel a big difference in the strength of your shoulders ones gonna feel like it's gonna give out

I had to have my bone restructured on top of the achilles extension. I was in crutches and stuff for about 6 months including the start of highschool

ouch I didn't have all that done thankfully, I was in a cast for 6 months but just to allow my heel cord to re-fuse and my ankle to straighten back out.

That's not too bad. I still get pain occasionally in my muscles around the ankle, but it's much better than the constant pain I had during activity before the op. They also put a titanium plate and screws in my foot as well :eek:

I haven't done any lift that includes overhead since November. It still doesn't feel right when I clean but I think I can get by with old person restrictions.
