I need the boot i have same issue

I had surgery 3 weeks ago.

Going thru this right now brother I’m at week 7

Happy to see your early recovery. I am on my 19th day post surgery.

I had to crawl up the stairs too it’s so painful to use crutches

Thank you ❤

Hey bro how is your Achilles doing after all this time? Give us an update please

What type of air boot did you have?

Thanks for the tips. I just had surgery last week. Will def be using your advice in the near future

On week 2 as of today, did you ever feel tingling/burning in your foot early on?? I started PT 2 days ago, my body has always reacted more the second day after even before my injury just going to the gym etc. Just wondering if you ever experienced.

Did you muscle come back? Did you experience and spasms and twitches?

Exactly the same case as me

Hi can you help me with the link to the DEA manual. The link you posted keeps giving me a NO PAGE FOUND result.

I bet you were good on your crutches

Hey mate - just wanted to say stumbled across your video today. I fully ruptured mine playing soccer and couple weeks post surgery now so its great to see someone who has been down the same path to learn from. Was there a reason the videos stopped - hope it healed well?

5 months post op and still can't walk right. Lost so much strength in my calf and can't seem to push off on my toes. I can only want with my foot turned out - everything is so stiff and weak.

Can you give us update on how you have recovered now?

hiii im currently studying for the MPJE, can you send me materials you used instead of Faders, im super bummed bc i just bought Faders :(

On day 22… can’t wait to walk again.. thanks for the stretches!

Sir where do i get that book..?

When I started walking with boot and low weight, i started getting random twitches around my foot. Not always in the same spots. Doctor says not serious. Mostly not repeatable in same spots. Any similar twitches? Pain is maybe 4/10.

My ortho was REALLY conservative. No weight bearing until week 6 after surgery. 50% after week 7. Last wedge off after week 8.

Hi bro actually my name is Steve from India .my Achilles tendon surgery is just over last week doctors said I have to take rest at home around 3 months 😞 now am walk around with walker so could you please tell me when I can walk with out walker? Thnx bro

Hi, did you have live in care from family or friends during your recovery? I live alone and may need surgery, but worried i will need help.

For future references and viewers. Do not replicate the same exercises as you see from someone online, your surgeo/PT has their own protocols and most won’t have to doing dorsiflexion until week 6 or so to allow the tendon to heal. Great video though mate

I recovered same amount of time . That bike really does help get everything started

How long did it take to fully heal?

one question did you had a complete rupture or partial

Had my Achilles surgery today. Appreciate your update.

Thanks for sharing, second week after tendon rupture, my friends and some doctors said has to be on cast for 6-8 weeks... muscle shrinks and all that really scared me... I guess that's the open air surgery, right?

Thank you for your update I’ve been following you my wife had her surgery right around the same time you had yours. The only difference is she had a massive bone spur that was the root cause of her problem so the surgeon had to remove the Achilles tendon in order to get rid of the bone spur so anyways, no weight-bearing for four weeks. Then she went to the cast like you Aircast for a couple weeks and now she’s yesterday she’s walking. See your video is very instrumental. We really appreciate it. You look great and hopefully you feel better soon. Thank you for educating all of us.

I’m 4 weeks out of post op I get my boot on June 12-14 I will start to train to walk in my upgrades boot u have me hope god bless you

5 weeks after surgery I started back at work. I had no choice, I have my own restaurant, I'm the chef. It wasnt fun spending 8 - 9 hours a day on my feet but here i am at 10 weeks. Not as painful as it was, just hope I haven't done it more harm than good!!

Amazing man! Really happy to hear about your very fast recovery. I'm in day 3 of my rupture, most likely non-operative/conservative depending on what the orthopaedic doctor advises in 2 weeks. I hope you're now back to full strength and beyond! Thank you for sharing 🙂

Oh wow. What an excellent video. I'm only at week 2 with stitches coming out tomorrow. I can only pray I have the success you had. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for this video man. I'm 3 weeks post surgery and I can walk full weight on the foot with the boot on. I thought I was pushing it until this video

Thank you for sharing, good to see you have been fairly active and could walk (carefully) by week 5! I think im having a similar experience, I went NO-OP. I was full weight bearing from the cast day 1 and I even removed the half cast 1st night (carefully) to massage around the leg and just put the half cast back on. I kept that routine for the first two weeks. I micro wiggled my toes and calf clenched.. no crazy pain because I kept my pointed position consistent. ++During the two weeks I purchased an extra sized boot with the raised heel to put my leg in. It made the process heaps comfortable because I can at least place my foot down with support. I could full-weight load with the cast and boot much easier but kept using the knee scooter mostly to give a solid two weeks heal. ++ Week 3 I removed the cast and just straight sock and boot. I felt so good with no pain but can obviously feel the limit of the tendon. Can walk with boot but maybe still using assistance with scooter 50%. (Scooter is fun!) the heel does get tired and feet swell so during the day I make sure to rest it up and elavate my leg when I can it helps!. Mid week 3 I carefully switch between boot and with my shinpad-half-cast. And SLOWLY trying tiny muscle calf twitches and heel raise motions. Jumped on the excercise bike while I watched a movie. (Very gentle) because toes are already pointed made the bike possible. on that note: I reckon each rupture is different incase you are researching as well. Mine was 6cm above the heel and the rupture gap was 1.5cm. it was deemed higher than the usual and iwas given the option of NO-OP which is why I suspect why my experience is what it is. I suspect if your rupture is closer to your heel, it could be heaps harder to walk or the gap could be bigger. Get well sooooon!

Did you also do the graston technique?

I had surgery also and I also had 3 heal spurs removed it’s been 2 and a half months and my dr says still no walking for me and I still have little discomfort

That's crazy! Thanks for sharing your story.

I just had my surgery 5 days ago

Great news. I am coming up to 4 weeks. In a big cumbersome boot due to size 14 shoe. Not sure when I can put load on the heel. Did you experience numbness at the bas of your toes as I have it

How you doing now? Fully recovered?

I’m at week 6 post surgery, easy walking in the boot. I do a lot of ankle circles without the boot. Do you have any safe recommendations? I don’t think I could do the bike

I'm hoping to be making quick progress too. I'm currently at 2.5 weeks from surgery to reattach my Achilles tendon. I've got the boot. Not yet allowed to put much weight on it, but I can tap down gently in the boot. I'm doing the dorsiflexion stuff, but no stretching, and making sure to keep my circulation up. I've only missed one session at the gym, that's when I was in surgery, but otherwise, I've been told that other than the actual Achilles, or any weight on that heel, I'm allowed to continue working out, so I have been doing that, 3x a week at least, with single-leg stationary bike to do cardio, or a seated or kneeling AMRAP variation.

Thanks for your videos. I get my cast off in 2 days which is 2 weeks after surgery. I will get the boot then. I have the shower chair, leg condom and the knee bike which has saved me as I am not good with crutches. I'm 275 pounds as well. Appreciate all your help !

You can update next ? thank !

Very helpful, thank you.

Hey man I just wanted to say thank you for sharing and posting this. I’m currently going through Achilles rupture and had surgery 4 weeks ago. I’ve been walking on my boot around the 3-4 week mark because I couldn’t do the crutches anymore. I thought I was going crazy because all I could find or hear about was you shouldn’t be walking on it. It’s doctors orders. It’s great to know im not alone in this so thank you.

Super helpful man - I started walking in controlled manner back and fourth on the yoga mat at week 5. PT is lagging a little behind but I know my body. I have also been riding the bike in the cast.
