Ruptured Achilles Tendon

[Nasty135]

I started wearing an ankle brace every day too. Not that I need any support, but the compression keeps the swelling down. Without it, my ankle still swells up like a balloon by the end of the day.

I wore one also for awhile dealing with the swelling, but to this day my right ankle is still noticably larger than the left. At least there are no issues.

You will favor it for awhile, then one day you will have forgotten all about it.
keep on truckin'

I haven't forgotten about it yet! I jogged on a treadmill for the first time about 3 weeks ago. Since then I have worked up to a fast walk for about 30 minutes with 5 minutes of jogging in the middle, all still on a treadmill. After that workout my heel is pretty sore for about 2 days.

I'm getting around pretty good now though and can't complain too much. I think basketball is a few months away still, but I fully intend to hit the court again, maybe not 4 days a week like I used to, at least not at first. I go back to the surgeon again on September 17, so we'll see what he says.
