Torn Achilles Tendon

[MitsuFootDr]

Week one in the boot is done. My physical therapy starts on the 27th of March and my next doctors appointment is 1 April. I will continue to wear the boot until otherwise directed. I am able to put full weight on it (doctor says that is ok). It is fairly stiff but I have been doing the exercise the doc gave me.

Glad to hear you're doing well. Keep that tendon moving - best way to keep it from getting stiff and to minimize development of scar tissue around the tendon. Those boots are wonderful things, and a hell of a fashion statement

PT appointment today. Ankle is stronger than last week but still weak. My range of motion has improved a great deal. I can bear my full weight but stability muscles are weak. I can also rise on my toes a bit but I don't do that a lot just because. Almost walking normal but it is a little stiff, not as bad as before. I hope that the next few weeks of PT will make a difference. My revised start of riding looks to be mid to late April.
