I am 23 years old and I tore my left Achilles when I was 16 years old and tore my right Achilles 19 years old. Both playing basketball. Doctor told me I have a higher change of tearing the other when I had the injury due to favoring the non injured foot prior to the second injury. This injury is more than physical pain. It was emotional draining since you have to take slow step to get into a full recovery. God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers. Boogie and myself had similar stat line for our first game back from Achilles Injury. That’s why his story hits hard to my heart.
That's a good point about DeMarcus' age. The rehab he has access to in combination with how relatively young he still is, it was a good move by the Warriors to sign him since it's virtually a no-risk contract. It was also a good move for Cousins as well because he can still prove he's worth a max deal contract that he's seeking.
Msx contract?? No way... i wouldnt want that trssh for free if i own a team..no defense, cries alot.. bad ofense, he dont play his position and lazy as hell..
Thank you for your videos, and this one in particular. I also ruptured mine at the age of 23 playing college football. It completely transformed my life and my body. I went from a thin fast guy to a slow heavy guy. It took about 5 years before it felt “ok” again. The surgery caused me to have never hypersensitivity down the outside of my leg that still persists today 18 years later, although it has lessened significantly. The injury happened in 2001, I returned to playing football in 2008 and am still going at 40.
I tore my right Achilles playing pickup ball late 2017 at age 28. Ever since then, I’ve been so into all the RUclips material on the subject. Thank you for the content. It was short, straight to the point, and informative.
Achilles rupture gang member... Dedicated every moment to rehabbing and made it back to competition at 3 months 3 weeks and 2 days. 23rd will be 5 months and I’m back running, jumping and feeling back to my old self. SO, to anyone else who ruptures - recovery can be expedited based on your dedication to rehabilitating the achilles/calf muscle. Make it happen!
I ruptured my Achilles’ tendon on April, 27, 2018 playing competitive soccer (football) and I greatly appreciate this video! I’m only 22 years old which left me totally confused when I sustained this injury as I’m physically in good shape. It’s good to hear another person say this likely won’t affect me in a year or two. Gives me a lot of hope. Could you do a video on David Beckham’s Achilles rupture? That one was truly baffling
Hey mate, ruptured mine back in November 2016 also playing soccer here in Germany. Let it heal completely, do not rush anything but be sure to do your homeworks. I can confirm that you need 1-2 years to nearly get back to your old capabilities and its a long way, but you can do it. Just believe in yourself! I started feeling a lot better in summer 2018 pre-season workout, so yes...you need that time.
JJ Barrea Rudy Gay is another example of a player rupturing his achillis tendon and being able to remain in the NBA long enough to return to his physical form.
I absolutely love your channel. Medicine and sports are my two favorite topics! I’m currently a pre med student so I got a long way to go before I’m anywhere near where you are. You should totally consider making vids for us college/med school students for tips and advice to succeed! Like how to study efficiently, proper time management, etc. I know there’s many of those videos out there but the more the merrier and you got an awesome personality that we can all connect with :)
I really like your videos, I love sports and medicine always intrigued me. I love how you break it down so anyone can understand but not make it condescending. Also how you can tell you’re passionate about what you do and I’m so glad I found this channel. Keep up the good work.
Also I think you should do a video comparing acl tears and Achilles tears. even though it’s like apples and oranges, those are known to be the worst injuries you can get.
Only a matter of time before u blow up. I've been on RUclips for long enough to know you're definitely on the rise, and fast at that. Keep up the great videos. Great quality.
Great point about cousins age, I’d like to add that cousins game is not based on pure athleticism so his game won’t be affected as much as some one who’s a high flyer.
You should explain Gordon Hayward’s injury. I personally had a similar injury, I fractured my fibula and dislocated my foot playing baseball sliding back into 2nd base.
I know this may be a college team and a lot of people don't like his school, but can you talk about McKenzie Milton's leg injury, and go through on what made it a very severe injury?
I appreciate your love and knowledge for the human anatomy and sports. Could you do a "video series" on all of AI (Allen Iverson) injuries. He is one of the greatest athletes to play in the NBA in my opinion. Thanks bro keep up the awesome work!!!!
I know this might be outside of your area of interest but: would it be possible to do a video on Mario Götze the football (soccer) player's health struggles?
So what percentage do experts think he will return to? A lot of this is predicated the presumed weight loss. Elton Brand was similar in build and age when he tore his achilles and he returned to 100% after 8 months and 20 lbs weight cut. That said, back then they played him 35 minutes per game including back-to-back and his career was riddled w/ injuries thereafter.
Love your videos. So Interesting but straight to the point and not over explaining. I’m going to school pretty soon to be a P.E teacher. What classes do you suggest for me to take after my pre req classes
Hey man, great stuff! It would be great if you could run us through Porzingis injury, especially since he's 7'3 guy. Also, JJ Barea just got injured, but it might similar to this one...
Hey, great video!! I loved cousins on the Pels, but weirdly enough they're better without him. Maybe he'd do better being the man. I have a quick question for you, and I'm sure it's not super common on here considering it's sports based! I'm currently applying to university here in Canada, and my marks are great relatively, but not high enough to enter pre-med directly. I was thinking of doing a BSc in PT or OT and then applying into med from there. Do you think it's a good idea? I'm at the point in my life where I have to decide what I want to do with my next 3-4 years, so asking someone with a bit more experience (you!!), Can be really helpful! Thanks again. Hope to hear from you soon and happy new year!
Can you please do Andy Murray's injury, he is a tennis player being forced to retire due to injury, and it would be really helpful o in now what happend to him and how severe it really is
Sir what did you study at university and what is your current job? I want to study kinesiology in McGill university because I love the field of health&fitness and want to seek advice from you.
Baseball, still Cardinals. No real NBA team, UK basketball. I've lived in a handful of Midwest cities throughout my life haha. Born in St Louis though so I feel the most sports ties there
Mario Chalmers, Brandon Jennings, Rudy Gay,Wesley Matthews never fully recovered from this injury and all of them were under 30 except Gay who was exactly 30 years old at the time of the injury.
Is there a difference between a rupture and a tear? You said that a rupture really only happens in veteran players but De'Ron Davis on IU's basketball team tore his achilles during practice when he was only 21 years old. If they're both the same, how rare or uncommon is it for someone so young to experience this type of injury?
I ruptured my Achilles playing competitive soccer and I’m 22. If you land awkwardly enough it will snap “the rope”. Luckily young people can make basically full recoveries. Mine happened April 27, and I’m running just as fast as before, now I’m working on strengthening the muscle again for wear and tear, and trying to regain my “bounce”. I’m about 80-90% recovered and plan to play this upcoming season starting in May.
but doc he will be 30 or so in that time frame and as a big man there is a lot more force on his tendon (especially being ahem not in the best of shape normally). he has shown to the drive to help lose some weight, but thankfully his game isn't dependant on explosiveness or athleticism.
Pretty interesting I’ve always been terrified to have this injury and I stretch my calf more than other muscle to avoid that. And I know it’s very uncommon
I have a question that I got varying answers to and would love to have some certainty on. This is certainly one of the scarier injuries to have in mind when you play. I severely strained other foot tendons on several occasions but never the achilles and never seem to have had a rupture according to my doc at the time. Now some of my teammates said that for a soccer player suffering several strains is actually worse than having one rupture would have been. Is that true? If so: Is it true for all tendons or only the ones we soccer players usually deal with (knees and ankles, rarely hips, very rarely the achilles)?
Kristaps Porzingis ACL tear please! Does his size make the rehab harder than other athletes? Will he come back in good form or should we wait as long as cousins? Find out next time on DRAGON BALL Z 🐉
I know this player is retired but if it's interesting enough could you explain Peyton Mannings neck problems he's had thought the years, I never understood it

It's caused by lactic acid fermentation
Not entirely... electrolytes play a big role. Muscle soreness is more the lactic acid buildup

Damn... if only he made that free throw
Eugene Gumen he would have torn it later in the game probably
Yea probably would have gone eventually
There was 10 seconds left
AK a he would’ve torn it in practice or the next game then
Kadeyn Ulmer why
why is this channel so underrated... 🐐🐐
Beats me
Brian Sutterer MD well look at the bright side you've been growing like heck since you started with these sports injuries.
Anyone else’s Achilles feel funny whilst watching this video 😂😭
Haha i was gonna post the Same
I already have archilies tendinopathy 😒
yea but i do have achilles problems anyway rip
Mine is tingling
Yea and it's nice to learn just as I'm going to basketball tryouts
I love ur vids and I can’t stop watching!!! Keep it up!
Thanks!!
I really like learning from
These videos thank you
#Facts... really cool too b/c there are tons of injuries in the NBA and his breakdowns really help.
Demarcus Cousins is one of the few people I’ve seen play live. Hope he heals up soon.

Yea plan to cover all major sports. NBA just hot now

Anyone who gave him a thumbs down is definitely jealous that this guy is young & successful. Great breakdown, just subscribed!
Thank you!
This video is what I'm looking for in a long time.!!!
Do Tom Brady’s ACL (full contact) injury from 2008. Or do Julian Edelman’s ACL, MCL, and lCL injury
u should add to these videos common rehab exercises used to treat each injury. great content!
Some of the most unique content ive seen in awhile. amazing man entertaining, and informative. Keep it up!
Only a matter of time before u blow up. I've been on RUclips for long enough to know you're definitely on the rise, and fast at that. Keep up the great videos. Great quality.
This channel is great, I’m glad I found it
Hey Brian! Great content, keep up the good work. Very glad that someone finally breaks down this topic.
This guy's videos grabs my attention everytime.THUMBS-UP
Whose here after Boogie broke the Clippers last night??
Yo Mammas Boo me😂😂😂
You are a fucking bum
Nah bro Im here after he tore his fucking quad
Great video, I'm planning to go to med-school and I also am interested in your videos so it's a win-win.
Another great video Doc. I predict this channel will have a million subscribers by the end of the year.
Haha, would be crazy but who knows!
im so hyped that ur page is growing! please keep doing these!
You bet! Things have slowed down a bit growth wise lately but not letting that deter me !
Had this injury myself and can confirm, you really need 1-2 years to fully...or at least get near your athletic capabilities you had pre-injury.
He’s my 2nd favorite current player behind LeBron. Primarily because I’m a Kings fan. So this was very interesting. Thank you!
Will his size make it harder to recover?
Probably but his tendon is also stronger because of his bigger size. His young age relatively speaking gives him a leg up
Thanks. I just heard that a lot so I was wondering
He lost a lot of weight recently probably to compensate
@@BrianSuttererMD so your basically saying DeMarcus cousins will never be as good again
Jordan eleven did you watch last nights game against the Clippers?
Dude was so heavy that I'm genuinely surprised at how fast he has recovered. Blows my mind
OMG. Thank you. I wanted to know what happened. I can hear my A&P classes coming back, I can actually follow you
These vids are awesome! Subscribed in a heartbeat
Cousins, John Wall, and Durant make 3 ruptured Achilles for players
Thank u for this video! That’s exactly how my ankle looks and I was just wondering how it suppose to look because these other videos don’t help!
You're an on the rise creator trending... Congrats!
Fantastic videos man, I really enjoy the content and you make it both enjoyable and understandable to watch. Great work! Keep it up
The fact that you're a Kentucky fan makes me like you even more

No matter how disadvantaged you are, getting stronger and more explosive will make you a very high jumper.

but doc he will be 30 or so in that time frame and as a big man there is a lot more force on his tendon (especially being ahem not in the best of shape normally). he has shown to the drive to help lose some weight, but thankfully his game isn't dependant on explosiveness or athleticism.
