Achilles tendon rupture recovery. Depending on the type of work, some people need several weeks off work after an Achilles tendon tear (rupture); the time taken to return to sport is between 4 and 12 months. Generally, the outlook is good. However, the tendon does take time to heal, usually about six to eight weeks.
Hi. I just wish to share my experience with all. I am 47 year old male.I did a total rupture on my Achilles tendon. Surgery took place the following day. I was put in a cast with four heel raisers and given a set of crutches. Was released from hospital the following day after surgery. I was prescribed blood thinning tablets and pain killers.
Achilles Tendon Surgery Recovery. Posted 7 years ago, 7 users are following. jodytoffee. Hi all, I've had a long drawn out diagnosis for my ruptured Achilles' tendon. Ruptured 3 months ago and took 8 weeks to diagnose as US scans were inconclusive due to swelling. Had another scan at 8 weeks and was told it was completely ruptured with 15mm gap ...
My surgeon told me primary purpose of boot and downward toe position was to protect Achilles repair early on. I only took boot off to shower; crutches into shower were dangerous in my opinion. You will see others here that reinjured falling or slipping. My opinion, based on this, is swimming would be risky to repair.
In basic terms the point where the achilles tendon inserted to the heel bone was significantly calcified and the tendon was damaged but not ruptured. The surgeon had to cut away the excess bone and repair the damaged area of the tendon. Post surgery for 3 weeks no weight bearing.
I had the cast for only two weeks post op and six weeks in the boot. Now 11 weeks post op and walking around (with a slight limp) and driving with a clutch. I drove an automatic car two days after surgery (rupture was on my left achilles), so depending which one you've had repaired, this may be the way to go. It's only been this week that I've ...
i am a 59 year male 4 weeks post surgery for insertional Achilles tendanities. Part of the tendon was cleaned and repaired whilst the bone spurs were removed. I made good recovery at home. The doctor wanted me to wear a boot hence no cast was used. I was non weight bearing for 3 weeks and thereafter 10% weight bearing.
I had Achilles reconstruction surgery back on December 20, 2016. I'm still in pain almost 5 months later. I'll give a little history. I started having heel pain in January 2016.

I am 7 weeks post op. i had Ankle fusion and Achilles release. I also have zero feeling in my foot. My surgeon seemed confused as to that fact and said we will review it again in 4 weeks. My foot is so swollen. I spent at least 12 hours on ice yesterday and took anti inflamatories and it makes no difference. Nothing makes any difference.
Achilles tendinopathy is a condition that causes pain, swelling and stiffness of the Achilles tendon that joins the heel bone to the calf muscles. It is thought to be caused by repeated tiny injuries to the Achilles tendon. These may occur for a number of reasons, including overuse of the tendon - for example, in runners.
